In the past, children with autism and their families had few resources available in Southwest Missouri.
Fortunately, the landscape has changed and autism is now widely recognized and treated in both medical and mental health communities. Among them is the Burrell Autism Center, a local diagnostic and treatment center designed to serve southwest Missouri and the surrounding area. The Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr. Pepper, which generated over $1 million for local children’s charities last year, is proud to include the Burrell Autism Center this year.
For golf fans eager to see future PGA golfers, and for those who want to join Burrell in efforts to connect children and families into support and treatment services, here is your chance. Even better, you can win prizes by supporting the PGA Web.com Tour stop.
