The 18th Annual Limbs for Life Golf Tournament was scheduled for October 19th. After speaking with most of you and gathering your input, we have made the difficult decision to not hold the tournament this year. The impact of the current environment on you - our sponsors, partners and friends - is significant.
We utilized a survey model to capture specific data in making the decision. Although several would attempt to participate if we held the tournament, most would need to reduce the level of sponsorship. With the feedback provided, the committee determined it is not economically feasible to hold the Limbs for Life golf tournament this year.
We value our relationship with you and want to do what’s in the best interest of Limbs for Life and each one of you. We are so grateful for your support and participation through the years and we will return. In fact, we have reserved October 18, 2021 at Gaillardia for our next tournament date. Mark your calendar, plan for your participation, and join us then. We will look forward to it!
We are thinking of you, your families and employees during this time. We look forward to brighter days, on the golf course, and beyond. Please reach out if you have questions.
Many, many thanks for your understanding and support.
Our Mission:
Limbs for Life Foundation is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to providing fully-functional prosthetic care for individuals who cannot otherwise afford it and raising awareness of the challenges facing amputees.
Our Vision:
Access to prosthetic care for all
The Need:
-
In the U.S., 507 people lose a limb each day; 2.1 million Americans live with limb loss
-
When a person loses a limb, they are faced with staggering emotional and financial lifestyle changes
-
Prosthetic devices can restore basic skills and independence but are not available to all amputees
-
Some state Medicaid programs, including Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi, DO NOT provide prosthetic limbs for adults
Our Response:
We provide a financial bridge between amputees and the quality prosthetic care they need to restore their lives.
How We Help:
-
We partner with prosthetic professionals who donate their time and skill
-
We accept and redistribute donated prosthetic components to broaden our impact
-
We provide information and referral to amputees to expand their opportunities

OUR HISTORY
The Limbs for Life Foundation was established in 1995. Prosthetist John A. Sabolich saw a need to assist amputees who did not have insurance coverage for prosthetics. His passion for helping amputees was deep-rooted in his family’s history, as his father Lester opened his first prosthetic clinic in Oklahoma City in 1947. Sabolich grew up watching his father give the gift of movement through prosthetic care. His vision for a global network comprised of clinics and partners to assist amputees in need continues through Limbs for Life Foundation.
Since its inception, Limbs for Life has provided thousands of new prosthetic limbs to amputees across the United States. Many more amputees are helped with the distribution of used prosthetic parts and components shared through international partnerships and missions, empowering amputees on five continents.
