The annual Coach Schnellenberger / Stand Among Friends Golf Championship moves to the renowned Trump International Golf Club on Monday, May 19, with proceeds benefiting programs and services for people with disabilities.

“This is the perfect combination for those who enjoy the outdoors, good food, having fun and contributing to a good cause,” says Shawn A. Friedkin, president and founder of the nonprofit organization Stand Among Friends, which helps people with disabilities to live with independence and success.

Lending his legendary name and support to the annual golf championship is Florida Atlantic University Head Football Coach Howard Schnellenberger, shown in photo with Lisa and Shawn. Schnellenberger has been part of four collegiate national championships and seven NFL playoff teams, two of which won the Super Bowl. A hometown favorite throughout South Florida, Coach Schnellenberger led the 1983 University of Miami Hurricanes to the school's first national title, defeating Nebraska in the 50th Orange Bowl.

“Coach Schnellenberger’s commitment and concern for people with disabilities is exemplary,” says Friedkin. “We’re honored once again to have his participation in our golf fundraiser.”

“We rely entirely on grants, gifts, fundraisers and good-hearted people to help serve people with disabilities,” Friedkin explains. “That’s why this golf championship is so important.”

The event begins with brunch and registration at 10 a.m. on Monday May 19 at Trump International Golf Club (3505 Summit Blvd., West Palm Beach), and golf begins with a shotgun start at noon. The fundraiser continues afterward with a cocktail party, awards presentations and silent auction beginning at 4:30 p.m.

Fees start at $350 for an individual player with corporate sponsorships up to $12,500. Guest passes for the cocktail party afterward are $100 each.
