2023 Amber Gaines Memorial Golf Classic

Hit the Links and Make a Difference in the Lives of those with CdLS

Join us at the prestigious Tapawingo National Golf Club in St. Louis, MO, on Monday, October 9, 2023, as we golf and dine together to raise funds for children and adults with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS). 

The event begins with lunch and registration at 11 am. You'll want to check out the great silent auction items before the shotgun starts at 12:30 pm.  After an invigorating round of golf, you'll enjoy dinner, a cash bar, awards, and prizes at 5:30 pm.

The proceeds raised through the Amber Gaines Memorial Golf Classic will help the CdLS Foundation to continue to provide crucial support to people with CdLS and their families.  

This is the 35th year that Madison County Wood Products (MCWP) and Pallet Logistics Management (PLM) have teamed up as title sponsors to put on this tournament. The event was renamed in 2020 after their inspiration, Amber Gaines, sadly passed away. Amber had CdLS. She was the beloved daughter of Doug and Barbara Gaines. Doug Gaines is a Vice President at MCWP.

CdLS is a genetic spectrum disorder that causes a range of physical, medical, and developmental challenges. It is found in both genders and all races and ethnic backgrounds. There is no cure.  

The CdLS Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit family support organization that ensures early and accurate CdLS diagnosis, promotes research in the causes and manifestations of the syndrome, and helps children and adults with CdLS and their families make informed decisions throughout their lives. The CdLS Foundation is the only organization in the nation dedicated to CdLS and is considered the world leader in research and support services.
