Jimmy Fund Golf extends sincerest thanks

Date: 8/22/2011

Jimmy Fund Golf extends its sincerest thanks to the organizers and sponsors of the Annual Ken O’Neill’s Dawn to Dusk Golf Marathon held on July 18 at Longmeadow Country Club in Longmeadow. Special recognition and appreciation goes to Tom Burke of Springfield, Mass., and Mike O’Neill of Chicopee, Mass., who organized the 14th annual event.

The dedicated sponsors, participants and volunteers helped raise critical funds to support lifesaving cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The Annual Ken O’Neill’s Dawn to Dusk Golf Marathon was one of the many golf tournaments that will be held in 2011 to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber. American Airlines, Callaway Golf, Dunkin’ Donuts, Forty Seven Brand, GateHouse Media New England, the International Golf Club, and HomeGoods are the presenting sponsors for Jimmy Fund Golf.

From traditional golf tournaments and country club member events to mini-golf tournaments and all day golf marathons, volunteers create golf fund-raisers that combine their love of the sport with their desire to support the fight against cancer. Each event is an incredibly rewarding and fun way to support a great cause!
