players teed up for a unique fundraising experience at Topgolf Lake Mary on Thursday, April 28. The event, which is took place of CIL's annual fundraising Gala, was a great opportunity for partners, supporters, and even CIL staff to have some safe fun while raising money for CIL programs and services.
Event presenting sponsors, KMI International and Turner Construction, have had a longstanding partnership with CIL and have each volunteered on ramp builds. This year, they wanted to take their involvement and commitment up a notch.
From silent auction items to "Hole-in-One" contest, sponsored by iVenture Solutions, with a $10,000 prize- the event kept guests teeing up for a good time.
The event raised just under $15,000 which will directly support CIL's programs and services that help Central Florida's disability community.
CIL consumer, Cathy Garrett, spoke to event attendees about her experience as a recipient of CIL services.

SPRING CAREER CAMP STUDENTS GET CAREER-READY!
One of CIL's most integral programs for youth with disabilities is Step Ahead. This program assists young adults between the ages of 14-22, who are currently enrolled in school, with the transition from school to adult life. Many youth in this stage of life are wondering what they want to do with their lives after school, and what career options are out there for them. Career camp is a fantastic way for these young adults to not only learn about different career paths, but to also gain the skills that will make them more successful employees! This camp was offered to Polk, Orange, Seminole, and Osceola county residents. Participants visited the Winter Park Fire-Rescue and Police Departments, Wauchula State Bank in Downtown Lakeland, Full Sail University, Explorations V Children's Museum (Lakeland), welcomed guest speakers from Turner Construction, Rita's Italian Ice, AdventHealth and more!
Enrollment is currently open for Summer Career Camps taking place in June and July 2022. For more information or to register, please contact:
