I am really excited about the next Charity Tuesday which will take place on July 7th. We will be sponsoring the charitable organization – Golf Pros Beating Cancer, a group dedicated to supporting skin cancer research at Duke University. One of only 40 centers in the country designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a “comprehensive cancer center,” Duke combines cutting-edge research with compassionate care. Duke’s team of nationally recognized physicians and staff treat more than 7,000 new patients per year, giving them the extensive experience that yields better results. The Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center is ranked as the top cancer hospital in the south, according to U.S.News & World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals” survey.
Charity Tuesday events continue to gain momentum with the next one promising to be the biggest and best to date. I have just picked up additional financial backing from three lenders, Danny Ott and James Gaudiosi with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and Ana Maria Espina with Franklin American. The three have agreed to contribute a 10 percent match of the night’s dinner proceeds to the charity. This currently brings our total contributions to 50 percent. I hope to have at least one additional contributor by the time of our next event.
As always, you simply come to the Old Brogue in Great Falls and enjoy great company, a fabulous dinner and an opportunity to win door prizes. Whatever you spend on dinner and drinks will see a 50% match go to the charity – Golf Pros Beating Cancer. Please click on the link (no pun intended) to learn more about this group and their upcoming Pro-Am tournament to be held at Trump National Golf Club. Drawings for door prizes will also be held. Our best prize to date is being offered up by Chris Melnick with LSA Title Services. Chris has graciously offered up a three-some (actually a four-some with him) at Trump National. Other door prizes include a one month complimentary pass to Elite Fitness here in Great Falls, a gift basket donated once again by Dominion Title , as well as several smaller gift items. Danny Ott and I are working on securing additional door prizes which will be posted as they become available.
