Over the past decade or more the ranks of disabled veterans has swelled. Many times they experience trouble reintegrating into civilian society. Some experience PTSD, others are fitted with prosthetics. All too often they retreat from the world and into their own safe spaces.
Millman NRG Foundation has worked alongside several veterans’ organizations and disabled support groups to give back to these individuals a social activity and a sport they can participate in. No Restrictions Golf (the NRG in the name) holds several events each year to share their passion for the sport and demonstrate to those who may believe they can no longer enjoy a sport how they may participate in golf while accommodating their new circumstances.
This nonprofit was founded by Scott and Teresa Millman, a couple passionate about helping others including veterans, those with disabilities and children. Scott is a USGTF Master Golf Instructor with over 25 years of teaching and playing experience and Teresa has achieved success in both the financial and nonprofit communities.
Scott explained their motivations, “Teresa & I felt a strong need to give back to our community. Starting the Millman NRG Foundation was our way of sharing our love of golf with others. Our goal is to make the game more inclusive and accessible for all. Both of us have had family in the military, we felt we needed to let all of our service men and women know that we are grateful for their sacrifices and that we are here to support not only them but their families as well.”
