Registration begins at 11 AM with the "shotgun start" at 12 PM on Friday, October 23. (The event was originally scheduled to start at 1 PM, but has been rescheduled to earlier in the day to accommodate a record number of teams and ensure each are able to complete their play.)  Each player will receive 18 holes of golf and a catered lunch, along with promotional items provided by event sponsors.

The “Featured Child” for the 2020 Special Kids Fall Golf Classic is Lourdess Nedd. “The simple mention of the name “Lourdess” on the Special Kids campus can bring a smile to anyone’s face. To the hands that take care of her in the nursing and therapy buildings, her resolve gives hope. To the hearts that feel for the challenges she faces every day, elsewhere in our support office, her story inspires us on our most challenging days. To the minds that pray for her campus-wide, Lourdess is everything Special Kids represents: a child of God, and a gift from the Lord. (Psalm 127:3)” Supporters are encouraged to read more of her story by visiting www.specialkidstn.com.
