Join The Sanders Firm To Support Families Affected By Autism
The Sanders Firm, is proud to attend the Michael W. McCarthy Foundation’s 2015 Annual Golf Outing Event. This year’s event benefits Life’s WORC and The Family Center for Autism, which provides crucial services and resources for families affected by autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and other developmental disabilities.
On Monday, October 5th, join the honorees for an exciting excursion to Plandome Country Club in Manhasset, NY. Enjoy a full brunch upon your arrival before teeing off on Plandome’s golf course, which is renowned for its majestic, sweeping views.
Not a golfer? You can still join in the charitable efforts of the Michael W. McCarthy Foundation by attending dinner or the cocktail hour, or by sending a tax deductible “There in Thought” donation.
