The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) will honor Seth E. Ellis, managing partner at Ellis Law Group P.L., Boca Raton, FL, at its first annual golf outing in Miami on December 5.

AFA will hold “Care on the Fairways” at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa, winner of the four diamond award from AAA. The event includes golf on the resort’s blue monster course, brunch, a silent auction, cocktail reception and awards dinner.

The event will raise funds to support AFA’s programs and services that focus on the practical, educational and financial needs of the growing number of families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses both locally and nationally.

Ellis, who resides in Delray Beach, FL, has worked for many years with families whose loved ones are living with this heartbreaking disease.

For Care on the Fairways, AFA welcomes individual golfers and foursomes, at $550 per player, $2, 200 per foursome, or $100 per person for dinner only. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information, call toll-free 866-AFA-8484 or visit www.alzfdn.org.

Healing Heroes Network is a national 501 (c) 3 non-profit charity founded in 2008, with headquarters in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. HHN is committed to healing America’s heroes by providing financial assistance for quality medical care to the men and women of the armed forces injured in the line of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, on or after 9/11/2001. Our nationwide network of medical professionals willing to provide services, along with donations from our generous supporters, enables HHN to treat these brave wounded warriors free of charge, for services delayed, not covered, or not approved under the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefit systems. Healing Heroes Network is funded by the generosity of individuals, companies, and fundraising events; no government funds are distributed to our cause. HHN promotes mental and physical rehabilitation to wounded heroes who have sustained traumatic injuries in the line of duty, including b oth brain and bodily injuries. Such services include Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatment (HBOT), massage therapy, chiropractic therapy, and so much more. Studies have shown that HBOT assists with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) as well as physical ailments. By encompassing every aspect of their medical needs, HHN and donors like you are able to help these brave service men and women return to more productive, fulfilling lives — improving the quality of life for their families, communities, and our Country as a whole.

In these difficult economic times, our mission to serve the community is more important now than ever before. Theta Phi Alpha and Premier Sponsor have partnered together to host the 1st Annual Tee Off with Theta Phi Charity Golf Tournament and Luncheon, benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Seeing a dire need to create an institution to help cure children with cancer and other terminal illnesses, the late entertainer, Danny Thomas, founded St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Since opening its doors in 1962, St. Jude has become known as one of the most trustworthy charities and one of the most formidable children’s research hospitals in the world.

Following Danny Thomas’ dream that ‘no child should die in the dawn of life,’ St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center that does not deny treatment due to a family’s inability to pay. No child is ever turned away because of financial reasons or lack of insurance. On average, over 5000 children visit the hospital each year and upwards of 200 children receive treatment every day.

Although 81 cents of every dollar goes directly to research, St. Jude still needs help. Theta Phi Alpha is committed to helping and we are asking for your support too. We are actively looking for sponsorships and donations to make our charity golf tournament a huge success for the children of St. Jude. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sarah Friedman, Tournament Coordinator, at 561 459 0943 or via email at TPAPhilanthropy@gmail.com.
