Welcome to Season 2 Episode 10 of the No Code Podcast!

\\n

My guests for this episode were Heather Andersen, Ron Allen, and Lindsay Allen.

\\n

Heather has served as President & CEO of Special Olympics of New Jersey since 2015! She has helped manage a growing organization by expanding offerings of new sports for athletes, hosting more and more events each year across the state, and engaging with hundreds of New Jersey companies as event participants, supporters, and donors.

\\n

I am on the Golf Committee Board for the Annual Garden State Unified Golf Classic, where people of all abilities participate. 2021 marks the 5th Anniversary of the event. It will be held at Tavistock Country Club on Monday September 27th. In the last four years, we have raised over $293,000 in net proceeds after cost, and we are ready to have a record year in 2021 coming off of COVID!

\\n

Ron and Lindsay Allen have participated in the event each year. Ron is a volunteer and participant and Lindsay is a Special Olympics Athlete. Lindsay is a skilled golfer and, as we discussed, has dropped her father from her foursome since he was holding her back. Lindsay has participated in many different sports of the years from golf to swimming to tennis to equestrian events and more.

\\n

I had a wonderful conversation with this group of amazing people and I hope you enjoy the episode. Remember \\u2013 The golf outing is Monday September 27th at Tavistock and foursomes and other sponsorship opportunities are still available!
