SUMMARY:4th Annual No Gimmes For Jimmy Charity Golf Outing
DESCRIPTION:To Register as a GOLFER or a TEAM click here \nJoin us for a day on the links on Saturday\, September 6\, 2025 at Heron Glen Golf Course in Ringoes\, NJ in remembrance of Jim Worthington. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to PWSA\, in Jim’s name. This event is inclusive for golfers and non-golfers alike – all skill levels are welcome. \nWhile he survived being directly under Tower 1 on 9/11\, Jim Worthington eventually lost his battle with leukemia on October 16\, 2021. He loved to play golf when he could get out — which was not often. He loved his family even more\, including his son with Prader-Willi Syndrome. \nPrader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is rare and most people\, including many physicians\, caregivers\, as well as new parents and family members\, are not familiar with this syndrome. The symptoms are many and include a continuous urge to eat\, a need for fewer calories to maintain weight\, and cognitive development issues. Those impacted by PWS know there is far more to the syndrome than eating and weight gain and are often under incredible stress. For more information regarding PWS\, please visit: https://pwsausa.org/what-is-prader-willi-syndrome/. \nA “gimme” in golf is usually a short putt that is excused by one’s opponent for playing because it is considered too easy to miss. Jim was as generous on the golf course as he was in life\, and his wish was that any “gimmes” go to helping those individuals and families with PWS. \nWe started the No Gimmes for Jimmy Annual Charity Golf Outing to raise money and awareness for PWS\, while having some fun and remembering a great family man. \nJim didn’t get a “gimme” on October 16th\, but what he’d want just as much is for you to give to this remarkable charity. So\, we’re asking you to contribute a “gimme” in Jim’s honor to PWSA and join us for a day of fun on the course in his honor. \nEvent Schedule\n– 12:30 PM Sign-in & Warm Up! Sign-in at the event table and hit the putting green/driving range before the opening ceremony\n– 1:30 PM Shotgun Start. All teams will tee-off at their respective starting holes at 1:30 PM\n– 6/6:30 PM Awards dinner & Raffle Join us for a celebratory dinner as we announce various prizes and host our raffle!

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Creating Financial Security for a Loved One with PWS with Ivailo Grigorov
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nWhen: Wednesday\, May 14\, 2025 | 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET\nWhere: Virtual via Zoom\nFree for anyone to attend! \nAbout Ivailo Grigorov \nIvailo Grigorov is a Financial Advisor and special needs parent to Lucca\, who is 8 years old and has a diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome. After 15 years as a Store Director at Target\, Lucca inspired Ivailo to change career paths and pursue special needs planning. Ivailo realized that families can benefit from a comprehensive plan that can guide them through the years and can ultimately maximize a child’s overall quality of life. Ivailo’s team primarily works with families who have a loved one with disabilities that will require some support not only now but in the distant future. There are many common mistakes in traditional planning that if not properly addressed can hinder access to programs and benefits. Ivailo’s goal is to serve as the quarterback for the family’s planning\, to educate on the most efficient ways to save to optimize and protect our loved ones’ futures and ultimately provide a piece of mind. Join us for this educational workshop to learn more about special needs planning. Topics covered will include an overview of SSI & SSDI\, Medicaid & Waivers\, ABLE accounts\, special needs trusts\, and other important considerations to help family members better understand how planning for a child with special needs is different both legally & financially.

This community event brings us together to support children like Zahra\, living with Prader-Willi Syndrome.

For Zahra\, this syndrome is just one part of who she is\, but it significantly impacts her and our family’s world\, now and forever. \nThere’s no cure or treatments\, but with your support\, we can give her—and others—a chance at independence and freedom from hunger. \nJoin us on April 5th for an unforgettable evening of hope and impact!

SUMMARY:No Gimmes for Jimmy Golf Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day on the links on Friday\, October 11\, 2024\, at Rock Spring Golf Club in West Orange\, NJ in remembrance of Jim Worthington. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the PWSA\, in Jim’s name. This event is inclusive for golfers and non-golfers alike – all skill levels are welcome. \nAbout the Event\nWhile he survived being directly under Tower 1 on 9/11\, Jim Worthington eventually lost his battle with leukemia on October 16\, 2021. He loved to play golf when he could get out — which was not often. He loved his family even more\, including his son with Prader-Willi Syndrome. \nPrader-Willi Syndrome (“PWS”) is rare and most people\, including many physicians\, caregivers\, as well as new parents and family members\, are not familiar with this syndrome. The symptoms are many and include a continuous urge to eat\, a need for fewer calories to maintain weight\, and cognitive development issues. Those impacted by PWS know there is far more to the syndrome than eating and weight gain and are often under incredible stress. For more information regarding PWS\, please visit: https://pwsausa.org/what-is-prader-willi-syndrome/. \nA “gimme” in golf is usually a short putt that is excused by one’s opponent for playing because it is considered too easy to miss. Jim was as generous on the golf course as he was in life\, and his wish was that any “gimmes” go to helping those individuals and families with PWS. \nWe started the No Gimmes for Jimmy Annual Charity Golf Outing to raise money and awareness for PWS while having some fun and remembering a great family man. \nJim didn’t get a “gimme” on October 16th\, but what he’d want just as much is for you to give to this remarkable charity. \nSo\, we’re asking you to contribute a “gimme” in Jim’s honor to PWSA and join us for a day of fun on the course in his honor.
