USTMA has raised funds under Grand Master Choi’s “Kick Cancer Out of the World” Fundraising Campaign for the past 18 years, and our Golf Tournament has been a corner stone of the campaign for the past 12 years. All funds raised are donated each year to Blue Ridge Hospice and the American Cancer Society. This year, we’re not only seeking donations for the charity auction, but we’re also offering local businesses the opportunity to sponsor junior golfers to play a round of golf.

Come out and join us on August 15 at the Virginia National Golf Club at 1400 Parker Lane, Bluemont VA. Fees cover 18 holes of golf and green fees as well as a boxed lunch and full dinner and drinks, along with door prizes and much more. To learn more and register, please visit www.ustma.com

The Proceeds from the
September 12th, 2009 tournament will be donated to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Woman and Babies.

The Cadillac Invitational held at the newly renovated Westmoor Country Club is one link in the nationwide series of 40 amateur tournaments being held across the country. The tournament is open to all amateur golfers with two divisions of play, Competitive and Non-Competitive.

The winning “Competitive Division” foursome and second-place qualifiers will be invited to compete in the Cadillac Invitational National Finals at Florida’s famed TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Verda Beach. Eligible teams in the Competitive Division consist of four amateur players whose USGA Handicap Indexes total 43.0 or more, and only one golfer on each team may have a Handicap Index of 8.0 or less.

Golfers participating in the “Non-Competitive” Division will compete for local prizes and all skill levels are invited! Foursomes, twosomes, and individual golfers are welcome in the afternoon shotgun and scramble event.

The foursome team entry fee is $1,600 for the Competitive Division or $1,400 for the Non-Competitive Division, a portion of which is tax deductible, and helps support the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin. Team entry fees include premium golf gift bags, driving range access, lunch, on-course hospitality, awards reception and dinner, and of course, a great round of golf at Westmoor Country Club!

For every dollar contributed, 84 cents is donated to patient programs and services available to all affected by organ donation, diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. In addition, the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin provides public and professional education and funds life saving research.

The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin was founded forty years ago by a group of physicians and family members. It is dedicated to the prevention of kidney and urinary tract disease, improving the health and well-being of patients and families affected by these diseases and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation.
