Stockbridge Jimmy Fund Golf Tournament set for September
02:10PM / Thursday, August 07, 2008
STOCKBRIDGE — The third annual Stockbridge Jimmy Fund Golf Tournament, benefiting the Jimmy Fund, will be held Monday, Sept. 15 at Stockbridge Golf Club in Stockbridge, Mass. The tournament is open to the public and will host approximately 96 golfers. Cost to enter is $200 per individual, and all tournament proceeds support cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
In addition to an afternoon of golf, the event includes lunch and an evening program with hors d’oeuvres, a drawing, silent auction and guest speakers. There will be a shotgun start with a format of Best One of Four – Gross & Net. The Stockbridge Jimmy Fund Golf Tournament has a goal of raising $50,000 this year.
Each year Jimmy Fund Golf, the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots golf program for charity, brings together hundreds of volunteers and thousands of golfers who are united in their love for the game of golf and their desire to fund cancer research. Starting with individual benefit tournaments dating back more than 50 years, just after the Jimmy Fund was founded, Jimmy Fund Golf has steadily grown to more than 160 tournaments annually since it was formally organized in 1983. In 2007, Jimmy Fund Golf events collectively raised $6.7 million. For more information, call (866) 521-GOLF.
The Jimmy Fund supports the fight against cancer at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, helping to raise the chances of survival for children and adults with cancer around the world. Since 1948, the generosity of millions of people has helped the Jimmy Fund save countless lives by furthering cancer research and care. Unrestricted support from the Jimmy Fund is an integral part of Mission Possible: The Dana-Farber Campaign to Conquer Cancer, a $1 billion capital campaign to accelerate cancer research, speed development of life-saving therapies, and expand the Institute’s signature patient- and family-centered care.
