LPGA Member & TBI Survivor to be Keynote Speaker at Brain Injury Association Charity Golf Classic

RICHMOND, Va. - Aug. 23, 2022 - PRLog -- The Brain Injury Association of Virginia (BIAV) will be hosting the 18th Annual Charity Golf Classic at the Salisbury Country Club in Richmond Virginia on October 10th, 2022. This event is the organization's largest fundraiser, and the funds raised ensure BIAV continues to be the leading brain injury support and advocacy organization in the state of Virginia.

BIAV is excited to announce that Nichole Inkel, LPGA Member and owner of the Windy Hill Golf Course and Sports Complex, will be the speaker at this year's event. Nichole is living with a Traumatic Brain Injury after her vehicle was hit by a school bus. Although she sustained numerous injuries, developed seizures, and completely lost her short-term memory, golf remained a constant throughout her brain injury journey; she says it saved her.

Anne McDonnell, Executive Director of the BIAV said, "We are extremely excited to welcome Nichole to our 2022 Annual Charity Golf Classic as our speaker. Nichole is a wonderful example to everyone that brain injury recovery isn't always easy, but finding passion during recovery can keep people going."

Nichole was back to playing golf a year after her injury. A few years later, the opportunity arose for her to purchase Windy Hill Golf Course & Sports Complex. She hopes Windy Hill will be a place a place of growth for their visitors. Nichole says, "You don't know what everyone is going through. Maybe this is their way to get away from the world and whatever might be holding them back."

"We invite anyone who has an interest in golf and supporting a good cause to explore sponsorship opportunities or play golf with us. We'll have a wonderful speaker, golf pro's giving lessons, raffle with prizes donated by businesses across Virginia, great food, and all around fun," said McDonnell.
