Northstar Financial Planners Sponsors We R.I.S.E. for Autism Golf Classic
PLANTATION, Fla.—April 30, 2024—Northstar Financial Planners was proud to sponsor the “Beat the Pro” challenge at the We R.I.S.E. for Autism Golf Classic, which took place on April 26, 2024, at the Jacaranda Golf Club. The sponsorship underscored Northstar’s ongoing commitment to supporting autism awareness and empowering the autism community.
HDS Companies presented the golf tournament. The “Beat the Pro” event challenged participants to match or exceed the skills of a professional golfer by hitting a golf ball closer to the pin. This exciting feature provided an engaging experience for the golfers and helped raise funds for the HDS Foundation.
The HDS Foundation is a nonprofit that helps transform the lives of teens and young adults on the autism spectrum through programs that foster productive, meaningful, and independent lives, according to the foundation’s website. One hundred percent of donations go directly to programs, with HDS Companies supporting all administrative costs.
Northstar Financial Planners has a track record of backing initiatives that support autism awareness. Earlier this month, the firm both sponsored and participated in the fifth annual Autism Bike Ride hosted by the Dade County Association of Fire Fighters Charities.
Richard Lottier III, a Client Service Specialist at Northstar, was thrilled to join fellow players in the golf tournament.
“Participating in the We R.I.S.E. for Autism Golf Classic was not only an opportunity to challenge ourselves on the greens but also a moment to make a difference. It’s inspiring to see our community come together to support such an important cause,” Lottier said. “At Northstar, we’re committed to empowering individuals with autism, and it’s a privilege to contribute to these efforts through events like this.”
The We R.I.S.E. for Autism Golf Classic gathered enthusiastic participants for a full 18-hole experience at the Jacaranda Golf Club in Plantation, starting with a lunch reception at the 19th Hole Grill & Lounge. The event concluded with an awards dinner and silent auction.
“We were thrilled to support the We R.I.S.E. for Autism Golf Classic and particularly the ‘Beat the Pro’ challenge,” said Allen Giese, ChFC®, ChSNC®, CLU®, Northstar president, CEO, and senior financial advisor. “We are dedicated to supporting events that make a difference. It was a fantastic day of golf, and we were proud to contribute to the ongoing efforts of the HDS Foundation.”
