SOMERS POINT, N.J. - s4story -- The Together We Dance Foundation experienced another unforgettable day of inclusion as families were invited to attend the 2026 Rivalry Golf Outing at Greate Bay Country Club in Somers Point, New Jersey, where they spent time with some of college and professional football's biggest names.

The annual event featured a friendly competition between Penn State, captained by Saquon Barkley, and Pitt, led by LeSean McCoy. Penn State ultimately claimed the 2026 Rivalry Golf Outing title, but the true winners were the families who created lifelong memories and moments.

Children and adults with special needs and autism had the opportunity to meet Barkley, McCoy, Trace McSorley, and Christian Hackenberg, who generously took time to greet families, pose for photographs, sign autographs, and create meaningful moments that will not soon be forgotten.

"The smiles on the faces of our families said everything," said Mike Barnes, Executive Director of the Together We Dance Foundation. "Moments like these remind us why inclusion matters. When athletes and community leaders take the time to make every individual feel seen, valued, and included, the impact extends far beyond a single day."

The Foundation also expressed its sincere appreciation to The AMPT Group, led by Nick Shafnisky, for welcoming the organization with exceptional hospitality throughout the event for a second straight year.

"The red-carpet treatment our families received made everyone feel like VIPs," Barnes added. "We are incredibly grateful to Nick Shafnisky and The AMPT Group for embracing our mission and helping create such a memorable experience."

The Together We Dance Foundation also recognized The Joe Skelley Group for sponsoring the Foundation's foursome during the outing and thanked photographer John Alexanian for capturing the day's most meaningful moments.

Events like the Rivalry Golf Outing are made possible through the continued generosity of sponsors, volunteers, and community partners who believe every individual deserves opportunities to connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories regardless of ability.
