Matt's Place Inc. began as a grassroots organization in October 2000 to help a young man return to his community after being institutionalized for complications of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.The extraordinary cost of institutionalization and the fact that people are happier and stay healthier in their own homes has created a push to return children and adults with disabilities to their community.Many face great challenges finding a home.Once home, they also face financial and daily living challenges.While many organizations focus on prevention and cures,
Matt's Place seeks to improve the lives of those currently living with
disabilities.
Matt's Place builds accessible housing, provides community awareness
and education, personal care staff assistance, and help with the
transition from health care facility to home. Matt's Place was incorporated
in September 2006, and given 501(c)(3) public charity status in October
2006.With your assistance we can give more people a reason to live.
On September 8, 2008, we are holding our first golf tournament. It will be
held at Georgetown Country Club in Georgetown MA. We are having a
scramble with 4 people to a team. It costs $150 per person to play.
Included with your entrance fee you get 18 holes of golf with a cart, bag
drop, PGA tour Buffet Dinner, music, Raffles and Auctions, DrivingRange,
putting green use before the tournament, and much more.
