President Donald Trump paid respect to Ernie Els in a Tuesday tweet celebrating National Autism Awareness Month.
Els and wife Liezl, whose 16-year-old son Ben is autistic, established the Els for Autism Foundation in 2009.
According to the foundation's website:
The world-class pro golfer and his wife have devoted their efforts to a game-changing, philanthropic project – The Els Center of Excellence. The Els Center of Excellence is a world-class facility hosting leading-edge Programs and Services that are accessible to families and caregivers around the world. Based in Jupiter, Florida, the 26-acre campus provides on-site education for 300 students, ages 3 through 21.
