Tee Up For Autism

Join us for our 6th Annual Golf Fundraiser and/or become a sponsor!

We invite you to join us on May 31, 2025 – South Walton Academy is raising awareness for students on the Autism Spectrum one swing at a time. We are hosting our 6th Annual 2024 Tee Up for Autism Golf Tournament on May 31th, at 9 am at The Baytown Sandestin Golf and Beach Club, “The Links” with registration beginning at 8:00. Teams and individuals alike are in for a fun day of golf, food, drinks, entertainment and prizes. All proceeds will benefit South Walton Academy, a non-profit inclusion school—only one of its kind and is located here in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. 

Sponsorships for the 2025 Tee Up for Autism Golf Tournament are now available and there are many ways to become involved. Sponsor a Child for as little as $200, Donate a Raffle Prize, Sponsor A Hole, or Sponsor an Event such as Longest Drive or Closest to the Pin. Each sponsor will be mentioned in the program, and on social media in addition to other perks. We are also looking for Volunteers for the day of the event. 

Teams of four can sign up for $475, and individuals can play for $150. Register in advance today. Players will be able to register in person the day of the event but pre-registration is highly encouraged to ensure your spot along with your filled event bag and golf cart. For more information on becoming a sponsor, volunteer, and/or player, please contact us at teeupforautism@southwaltonacademy.com. 

SWA’s goal is to help every child be successful. Proceeds from the golf tournament will be used to fund the expansion of our campus, and the addition of new programs.
