D7 East, Golfing for the Special Olympics

This week, members of the Domain7 East team got to participate in the 10th annual Montgomery Masters to benefit the Special Olympics Montgomery Chapter. Sentinel Wealth Management—a new client of ours—invited us to sponsor the tournament and we were happy to get involved.

The Special Olympics began over 40 years ago, right here in Montgomery County. It began in a backyard, and grew into the 1968 “Summer Games” at Soldier Field in Chicago, and is now an international program that reaches more than 3 million special needs athletes in over 180 countries around the world. Frankly, it’s a cause we are so excited to get behind.

Pam Yerg, director of Special Olympics Montgomery Chapter, said, “As we prepared for this event, we were on the lookout for companies and organizations that would want to join us in making a difference in the lives of so many. We thoroughly enjoyed having the young and enthusiastic Domain7 golfers with us, and look forward to many more years of their involvement in our programs!”

Domain7 East Director, Phil Gallo and myself got to spend some time with Will Ennis—a Special Olympics coach, and seriously talented golfer. It was amazing to be able to support Sentinel, but also to see firsthand the heart and soul of the Special Olympics. The organization is really like a family and everyone involved shares a passion for the cause—it’s very contagious and fun to be a part of!

Pat Ennis, our client at Sentinal had some nice things to say about our involvement in the event: “It is very exciting to see a quality firm like Domain7 invest back into great community works like the recent golf event for Special Olympics Montgomery County. At Sentinel we are grateful for D7’s professionalism in helping us rebuild our site, as well as their generosity in working with us to support SOMD.”
