The 2nd Annual Drew Clark Memorial Golf Tournament and Fundraiser

Hello Golfers!

The Second Annual Drew Clark Memorial Golf Tournament and Fundraiser will be taking place on Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 at Glen Eagles Golf Course in Cochrane - we hope you’ll plan to attend again this year.

New this year is our interactive website where you can register and pay online, make donations, get up-to-the-date information on the tournament day, read Drew’s story, and learn more about Mitochondrial diseases. Please check out A Day for Drew.

Also, there is an early bird rate for golfers, so please get those registrations in soon!

We are very excited about this event! Last year’s event was a huge success; we raised over $13,000 for the Alberta Children’s Hospital. CN generously matched that amount, for a total of over $26,000! We are looking forward to this year’s event, where we will once again be donating to the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation. Specifically, all donations from the Drew Clark Memorial Golf Tournament will help outfit a Genomics lab to benefit children and families across Alberta. The Genomics lab will house state-of-the-art genomics technology that will allow the Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute to bring together a network of genomics collaborators from across Alberta.

So mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 10th! It’s sure to be a great day and we look forward to seeing you there!
