Golfer Brad Hennefer, who has Down syndrome, has been selected in a nationwide internet vote to represent the Philadelphia Phillies at the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis this summer.
Hennefer, 20, was nominated in the “All-Stars Among Us” campaign for his work with the Golf for Life Foundation. The campaign, sponsored by Major League Baseball and People Magazine, recognizes individuals who have gone above and beyond to serve their communities. Winners will be honored at a pregame ceremony on July 14.
With the help of his family and the Philadelphia Section PGA, the 2008 Cherry Hill East High School graduate started the foundation in 2006. The organization provides coaching and opportunities for youngsters with Down syndrome.
Hennefer played varsity sports in high school, lettering in both golf and basketball.
