To the Editor:

Jimmy Fund Golf extends its sincerest thanks to the organizers and sponsors of the Annual Friends Fighting Cancer Charity Golf Classic held on Sept. 7, at Windham Country Club in Windham, N.H. Special recognition and appreciation goes to Tom Maguire of Wakefield, Mass., and his committee who organized the seventh 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 Friends Fighting Cancer Charity Golf Classic was one of the many golf tournaments that will be held in 2012 to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber.  The presenting sponsors for Jimmy Fund Golf’s 2012 season are American Airlines, Callaway, CHAMP Spikes, Dunkin’ Donuts, Forty Seven Brand, HomeGoods, The International Golf Club, and Wicked Local.

From traditional golf tournaments and country club member events to mini golf tournaments and all day golf marathons, volunteers create golf fundraisers 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! Those interested in finding out ways to support Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund through golf may visit www.jimmyfundgolf.org or call (866) 521-4653 to learn how.

Sincerely,

Nancy Rowe

Director, Jimmy Fund Golf
