Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers Chips in for Chicagoland Girls

The temperatures dropped unseasonably below 60 degrees last week at White Eagle Golf Course in Naperville, Illinois, but it hardly stopped more than 130 golfers from attending Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers's8217; annual charitable golf outing.



The sole beneficiary was Girls in the Game, a Chicago-based mentoring program for girls, dedicated to reducing the barriers young girls face when accessing quality sport and fitness programming.



's8220;We are eight women who serve more than 12,000 girls, so we's8217;re not real strong on manpower. We don's8217;t have the staff to do all the outreach and all the planning for a big fundraising event, so, when Accelerated told us that we were going to be the beneficiary of Accelerated's8217;s golf outing, it was a dream come true for us,'s8221; Amy Skeen, Director Girls in the Game, said.



This is the second year that Accelerated raised more than $10,000 for the Girls in the Game fund.



's8220;We like to build relationships with the people in our community, and a large part of that is giving our time and efforts to help organizations that value our youth,'s8221; said Randy Frieser, president of Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers. 's8220;We are proud to affiliate ourselves with Girls in the Game, because they empower young girls on and off the playing fields, and they do it with the utmost integrity.'s8221;



Corporations that declare themselves a non-profit, must show that at least fifty percent of their earnings are allocated back into the program. At last year's8217;s audit, Girls in the Game showed 74% went back into girls programming.



Nicole Whitter, now a freshman at Whitney Young, has been a member of Girls in the Game since she was nine years old.



's8220;I don's8217;t think Nicole would have had the learned the leadership skills that she has if it were not for Girls in the Game,'s8221; Nicole's8217;s mother, Debbie said. 's8220;Her ability to share and speak publicly are directly related to her experience there.'s8221;



's8220;We always have such a great time with the girls, and we look forward to doing it again next year,'s8221; Frieser said.



Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers is the premier provider of outpatient physical rehabilitation services. We are dedicated to our patients's8217; rapid and safe return to work and recreation. We offer a hands-on, service-oriented approach that our patients value. Accelerated is the choice for the nation's8217;s top professional athletes, largest employers and busy professionals who all with to return to their 's8220;playing fields's8221; with less pain, increased strength and mobility and most importantly, enjoyment of life.
