ABOUT THE BEAT TOM & BILL CHARITY GOLF OUTING, DINNER AND RAFFLE

Since 2002, the Beat Tom & Bill Charity Golf Outing has raised over $210,000 in monetary donations for several cancer-related charities and local families. In 2010, with your help, we all set another record and raised over $75,000.  In the 9 years of this event we’ve accomplished a lot: 

• Raised over $67,000 for The Cancer Care Foundation, a non-profit organization that helped Bill's mother and father-in-law, George and Lana Nellis as they suffered through their cancer battles. 
• Raised over $100,000 to help local families that were suffering financially through their cancer bouts. 
• The Neilson family whose  4 yr. old son Cody is still going through his cancer fight. 
• The Charalambous family who suffered the loss of their mother Sharon and declared bankruptcy because of the financial stress of the disease
• The Burde family who lost their 19 year old daughter and then were told of Karen’s breast cancer.    
• The DiSilvestro family and their daughter Gianna who ultimately lost her battle with the disease.
• Sally Gorney – Avila - a week after her passing, we honored Sally Gorney-Avila and her courageous fight at our 2009 outing. 
• 5-yr old Jake Spachner’s family was also helped at the 2009 outing.  We are pleased to report that Jake is in remission and doing very well. 
• Created Sally’s Studio – an Art Therapy program for Cancer sufferers at Lutheran General – and raised over $30,000 for this fantastic program. 
• Raised almost $15,000 to support Avon Breast Cancer and American Cancer Society
