Golfers will “tee off against cancer” on Sunday, July 19th as they team up to help a local cancer victim and other cancer kids at a charity golf tournament in Wellington.

The Binks Forest Golf Club hosts the event, and should provide golfers with a fun but challenging course. Prizes will be awarded for best drive, best score, closest-to-the-pin and other achievements. A $100,000 hole-in-one reward will come to the duffer who can put the ball in the cup with one drive.

Proceeds from the event will benefit six year old Max Clark of Wellington, and the Kids Cancer Foundation. Max was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in November of ’07, and his cancer came back in January of this year. Because his disease is so aggressive, doctors agreed that a stem cell transplant was his best option for survival. On June 10th, 2009 Max received a stem cell transplant at Children’s Hospital Boston and is in recovery.

Entry fee for a single golfer is $120, and hole sponsorships are available for $100. Entry fee includes beverages on the course, raffle ticket and a buffet at the Gypsy’s Horse Tavern. The tournament begins with a shotgun start at 8AM. Call Paul Rowan for tournament details or to obtain golfer registration or hole sponsorship.
