X Drive Classic Boasts Sun, Fun and Fundraising from a Sold-Out Crowd
The 8th annual X Drive Classic golf tournament raised more than $48,500 to support young students and adults who are affected by Fragile X Syndrome, autism, and developmental delays. The sold-out tournament was held on July 25 at The Club at Pradera in Parker. Before teeing-off, more than 140 golfers, many from Castle Pines, lined up in the “X” formation to represent Fragile X syndrome which is a leading cause of autism. The fundraiser proceeds will benefit The Joshua School and Treeline Pass.
