In March 2021, Spectrum Golf clothing line was started by 10-year-old Carter Bonas. In February 2022, Carter added “Spectrum Vitamin Water” to his list of items offered.
On March 1, 2022, “Carter's Spectrum Golf, Corp.” a 501c3 was founded. Carter’s nonprofits mission is to grow the game of Golf, by providing motivational speaking to youth in schools and mentoring programs in addition to offering free golf lessons to youth.
Carter chose the name Spectrum Golf to empower himself and others to see that they don’t have to hide from their diagnoses. Like him, they too can choose to learn how to control their own emotions, life, and narrative.
Why the name Spectrum Golf? you may ask.
"I was diagnosed with autism before I was one year old.
My entire life I’ve been told I’m high on the spectrum. "High Functioning"
Even though I am on the high functioning side of the autism spectrum, that did not stop other kids from bulling and teasing me or calling me mean names.
After many years of being teased in elementary school because I am "special" my mom and my therapist helped me learn how to control my emotions and behavior.
And I'm still working hard at it, every day..
Yes, I am special; yes, I am different; yes, I am weird, and that’s OK.
I’m unique and different and that’s OK.
I learned to embrace my differences."
