The Ataxia Connection Golf Challenge is a charity golf tournament raising funds and awareness for North Carolinians living with ataxia, a rare neurological disease. Golfers of all skill levels can register to play in a scramble format, which keeps the pace of play moving and focuses on team scoring rather than individual pressure. If you plan to participate, expect an 11:00 AM shotgun start on Monday, September 14. Prestonwood Country Club offers ample on-site parking, and players should bring their own clubs and standard golf attire. While this is a sports fundraiser rather than a children's playdate, it is a meaningful opportunity for parents to support local health advocacy while enjoying a day on a premier local course. This tournament is an excellent weekday escape for local golfers who want to combine their favorite hobby with community advocacy. It offers a structured, social day outdoors that directly funds vital resources for families navigating rare neurological conditions across the state.
