Button Hole - Providence, RISupport for Button Hole from the Alliance has had an incredible multiplier effect on the entire Rhode Island community. Alliance funding provided new opportunities to continue to develop a facility-wide inclusive model for Button Hole. New partnerships with organizations whose purpose is to promote inclusiveness have benefited from the programs and the proposed renovations to make the course completely accessible by March 2014 are not only important to golfers with disabilities but for an increasingly aging population golfers for whom regular golf courses are no longer navigable or affordableand these golfers bring their grandchildren!
