Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

We are partnering with The Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland. Money raised for the fund will provide education, service and latest research information to Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers.The Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland is a voluntary health service organization active throughout Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. The Foundation is a tax-exempt chapter of the National Parkinson Foundation. Their goal is to provide support to people with Parkinson’s and their families and to inform the community about PD.

We expect support for the cause to be phenomenal this year because we are remembering Don Klein, who was afflicted with Parkinson’s disease and Jane Klein, who was his caregiver and who gave over 20 years of service to the city of Lenexa. “Jane’s passion for this city and our citizens was extraordinary; she always had the community’s interests at heart in all that she did,” said, Mayor Mike Boehm. The Klein’s were Lenexa residents for more than 40 years, and Jane devoted over 20 years to public service in her role as a Lenexa City Councilmember. If there was a City sponsored event you could count on the Klein family being involved. Their lives and their character touched all that knew them.

Please become a sponsor of the 2011 Don & Jane Klein Memorial Golf Tournament, or give to the Don & Jane Klein Bequest Fund. Join other companies that have committed to supporting the Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland. Sponsorships are available in a wide range of participation levels. Contributions to Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland are fully tax-deductible.

Your sponsorship will make a difference in the lives of those diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and their families. Please make checks payable to: “Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland,” and mail to:

With the tough economic times, everyone’s dollar is stretched. However, please remember that there are no economic boundaries for cancer or high-risk pregnancies. They can strike anyone at any time, without warning.

Cancer is an insidious disease that taxes families in countless ways; physically, financially, emotionally. There is no more hopeless feeling than watching someone that you love struggle with this singularly devastating illness. This is why once a year we gather in solidarity to help others, while spending an enjoyable afternoon on the links.
