CIL

Sunshine, great company, a few impressive drives (and a few that found the rough)—what more could you ask for?

Thank you to everyone who came out for CIL's Annual Golf Tournament at Stanley Golf Course! We loved spending the day with our colleagues, industry partners, sponsors, and friends while raising support for CIL's mission of promoting accessibility and independence.

Thanks for joining us, taking some swings for a great cause, and helping create another memorable event. Check out a few highlights from the day below!

Cheers to everyone who came out and made our Annual Golf Tournament a success! We want to thank Maier Design and the CIL Board of Directors for Sponsoring the Ga***rd Sports Association. Their support of adaptive sports enabled 3 individuals from the Ga***rd Sports Association to participate in our golf tournament.

At CIL, our mission is to support individuals with disabilities in living vibrant, independent lives. This sponsorship reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for empowerment, inclusion, and lifelong achievement.

Today, we celebrate the 15th Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), a reminder that accessibility creates opportunity for connection and independence in every part of life. At CIL, we’re proud to support initiatives that help individuals fully engage with their communities — whether at home, at work, or, in this case, out on the golf course.

This year, our Annual Golf Tournament includes a sponsorship opportunity benefiting the Ga***rd Sports Association, an adaptive sports program that helps individuals with disabilities regain independence, confidence, and community.

On GAAD and every day, we’re working toward a more accessible world. Learn more about the Ga***rd sponsorship and how you can get involved in this year’s tournament: https://www.cil.org/cil-golf-2026

We’re honored to bring the conversation to an even broader audience this June.
