Last but certainly NOT least – at our Driving for a Cure end of tournament banquet this year, we announced an exciting way for our golfers and Driving for a Cure event to directly support our upcoming Family Day for our local families.

We still have supporter spots left and would love if you would consider making a 100% tax-deductible donation to help us make sure this is an incredible event!  Your $100 donation is so greatly appreciated! In doing so you will receive a small sign on the putt-putt golf course that families will read throughout the day as they play.  Our team will reach out to you once all spots are filled to get the information you would like for us to include on your sponsor signage.

Until next year golfers…10th Annual here we come!
