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.
With your help, we provide quality prosthetic limbs for amputees with no other means of receiving one. We pay a pre-set amount of $2500 for a below knee prosthesis and $3500 for above knee directly to our partner clinics once the limb is completed and our
client is back on his or her feet. There is never a
charge to our clients.
Limbs for Life Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, tax ID#: 73-1422414. All donations to

Gifts of Stock
Stock or Mutual Fund Shares that you’ve owned for more than one year are excellent charitable gifts. Donating stocks allows you to avoid the capital gains tax and if you itemize deductions, you can also take a charitable deduction for the entire donation amount. We’ve invested in this secure online tool that enables you to donate your appreciated assets in 10 minutes.
Qualified Charitable Donation - Give from your IRA
If you are 70 1/2 or older and have a traditional IRA, you can use this secure online tool to make a donation from your IRA account.

Using this online tool, you can learn more and fill out the forms from your IRA custodian in just a few minutes, or print out the forms to fill them out offline.
