enAble of Georgia To Host Golf And Tennis Tournament

Milton, Georgia – August 22, 2017 – enAble of Georgia, Inc., (enAble) will hold its Golf and Tennis Tournament on Monday, October 16, 2017 at White Columns Country Club. The Tom Fazio designed golf course has consistently been one of Atlanta’s top golf courses. Situated on 250 rolling acres the 7,053 yard, par-72 course clearly shows what a talented designer can do with a piece of land. All guests will enjoy breakfast and lunch, generously donated by Chick-Fil-A Roswell and Chick-Fil-A Hapeville, contests, prizes, raffle, beverages, tasting treats from local restaurants and gourmet lunch after the event.

The purpose of the Golf and Tennis Tournament is to raise funds to support the mission of enAble of Georgia, to support people with special needs to lead fulfilled lives—physically, intellectually, and socially. Net proceeds from the event will directly support the adults that enAble serves and help maintain the 18 group homes and fleet of vehicles that enAble manages and operates.

enAble of Georgia was founded in 1979 by a group of parents seeking a place in their community and greater independence for their sons and daughters with developmental disabilities. enAble currently supports over 125 adults with developmental disabilities in Fulton County. All services provided by enAble focus on helping individuals become as independent as possible and to live, work and play in their community.

This year’s Tennis Event Chair is Lisa Cauley of Milton, Georgia. Lisa is an avid philanthropist, fundraiser and local political activist. She previously was appointed to the City of Milton Ethics Board by the Mayor, served on the FCBOE Health Committee and Community Development Committee, was the previous House District 47 Chair for the Fulton County GOP and is currently Georgia Precinct Chair for the Fulton County GOP. Lisa is also a Delegate for the Fulton County Republican party and has been an active member for over 8 years.

In addition to serving on her son’s Middle School Governance Council for 3 years, and her son’s High School PTA Executive Board, she has been instrumental in fundraising and creating community awareness for CURE Childhood Cancer, Protect Milton Inc., and The Road to Safety Program. Protect Milton and The Road to Safety Program are non-profits Lisa founded and are vital assets in the Milton and Alpharetta Communities. Lisa is very involved in her sons’ schools; she has served as the High School Band photographer, the Milton High School Golf Team Treasurer and has been the Golf Team Mom for the past 3 years. Lisa recently served as the 2017 enAble of Georgia Wine Event Chair and we want to thank her for her passion for enAble and dedication to our mission.
