Chip FORE Charity Celebrity Golf Tournament
The Ultimate Day on the Fairway: Chip FORE Charity 2026
Golf is a game of precision, patience, and persistence—qualities that the students at Cumberland Academy of Georgia demonstrate every single day. On Monday, March 23, 2026, we invite you to join us at the prestigious St. Ives Country Club for the annual Chip FORE Charity Golf Tournament. This isn't just a day away from the office; it is a high-impact mission to empower neurodiverse students and provide them with the specialized education they deserve.
A Celebrity-Studded Experience with Otis Nixon
This year, we are thrilled to announce that Atlanta Braves legend Otis Nixon will be joining us on the course! Known for "The Catch" and his incredible speed on the diamond, Otis brings a spirit of determination and community that perfectly aligns with the mission of Cumberland Academy. Whether you’re a lifelong Braves fan or a golf enthusiast, having a local sports icon like Otis Nixon on-site adds an unforgettable layer of excitement to the day.
The Mission: Playing for a Purpose
Cumberland Academy of Georgia is a non-profit school dedicated to students with high-functioning Autism, ADHD, and other learning differences. For our students, the traditional school system often feels like a series of obstacles. At Cumberland, we remove those barriers by providing:
Small Class Sizes: Ensuring every student receives individualized attention.
Executive Functioning Support: Teaching the organization and life skills necessary for adulthood.
A Nurturing Community: A place where students finally feel they belong.
Proven Results: Your participation directly supports a school that boasts a 100% college acceptance rate.
Every registration fee, every mulligan purchased, and every sponsorship secured goes toward the Cumberland Annual Fund, which fuels our specialized curriculum and ensures we can continue to offer a life-changing education to those who need it most.
