Raising funds for the Emory Autism Center

The Magnolia Classic utilizes a Ryder Cup-style format to raise money for CADEF and to promote goodwill and healthy competition. Since 1990, funds raised by this tournament have helped fund many Georgia programs including the Emory Autism Center, a division of the Emory University School of Medicine.

In addition to providing intensive diagnostic evaluations, the Center serves as a comprehensive resource to persons with autism, their families and the professionals involved in their lifelong care. The Center is staffed with some of the finest experts in the field of autism, and is available to all persons and families in Georgia as well as surrounding states.

Els for Autism Foundation

In 2009, CADEF announced an affiliation with the Els for Autism Foundation established by professional golfer Ernie Els and his wife Liezl. Our collaboration will provide for a strong voice to increase awareness about autism, and help advance efforts to develop vital resources to improve the lives of children, adults and their families affected by Autism.

"We applaud CADEF's work over the last quarter century," says Ernie Els, a native of South Africa who now resides in Florida and has won more than 60 professional golf tournaments, "and believe that the collaboration between our organizations will significantly increase our ability to help children on the autism spectrum."

Thanks

The Childhood Autism Foundation, Inc. would like to thank the Marietta Country Club for their generosity in hosting this event at their course this year.
