Celebrity Amputee Golf Classic helps Project Medishare’s Haitian Amputee Rehabilitation Program
By Jennifer Browning
This year the Celebrity Amputee Golf Classic will split revenue equally between Project Medishare and Shake-A-Leg Miami.
Proceeds specifically will go to Project Medishare’s Haitian Amputee Rehabilitation Program, which is treating over 1700 people in Haiti who lost a limb due to the devastating earthquake in January this year. The other half of the proceeds will benefit Miami’s Shake-A-Leg which has developed a vocational program for injured service members coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan with physical, developmental, and economic challenges; liberating them from a realm of imagination into the realm of experience by means of innovative sailing and water sports education and recreational programming

On Friday, May 21st, golfers get started with a continental breakfast at 8 a.m. before hitting the links at Crandon Park Golf Club in Key Biscayne.
