On September 19, 2013, the Special Olympics of Washington Township held its first annual Charity Golf Outing at the Pebblebrook Golf Club in Westfield.

The Sertoma Club of Broad Ripple was the primary sponsor of the event which included 68 golfers. In all, 90 friends of Special Olympics attended the dinner following the outing.

The funds raised at the outing will be used to pay for the costs of athletes and participants at upcoming events such as next year's Special Olympics State Track Meet in Terre Haute.

The goal of the Special Olympics organization is to give athletes and partners an opportunity to become fulfilled and productive members of the community by developing confidence, self esteem and skills through sports. Special Olympians can start at age 8 and participate into adulthood.

Sertoma is an organization whose goal is service to mankind. In addition to its new sponsorship of The Special Olympics, The Sertoma Club of Broad Ripple provides aid to Noble of Indiana and the Cranial Facial Unit of Riley Children's' Hospital. The Broad Ripple Sertoma members saw the Pebblebrook golf outing as a way to expand their commitment to helping others through service.
