Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

Our organization began in 2009 with an idea from an 8-year old boy living with leukemia who wanted to help other kids with cancer. His request was that every child with cancer at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh should have a handheld gaming system. Genre (like Henry with a “G”) knew this was helpful in passing the many hours spent in chemotherapy and blood transfusions. We accomplished that goal in 2010 and have since been providing free gaming systems to 8-12 children each month who are newly diagnosed with cancer.

As Genre has moved along his journey through pediatric cancer, his ideas have continued to grow and have developed into the many services we provide today. Genre spent 67 days in the hospital in one year, in addition to weekly chemotherapy treatments administered at the pediatric oncology clinic. Other children victims to this devastating disease spend many more. Genre has maintained a positive outlook and wants to reach out to other children who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Genre’s Kids with cancer fund has established Project H.E.L.P. (Hands Encouraging, Loving, and Providing) which details the assistance we provide to families living with pediatric cancer. Many expenses associated with pediatric cancer are not medically derived. The burden on families can be devastating, and it is our deepest desire to help in any way we can.

The Billy Mock Foundation is a tribute to Billy and his compassion for people, love for life, and passion for sports.

Our mission is simply to “help others” which is achieved through the award of scholarships and support of families in need.

The Billy Mock Foundation (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) was established in 2008, on what would have been Billy’s 14th birthday, by The Mock Family and Friends. It has already awarded several scholarships, provided financial support to many families and instituted a youth-focused pay it forward program and a junior board.

In 2002, my then 20-year-old brother, Justin, was diagnosed with kidney failure. For the following five years, Justin was in and out of doctors offices, traveling to different states, changing his diet, searching for anything that could save him. However, the inevitable seemed to be on the horizon – he would need a kidney transplant. Friends and family were all tested to see if they were a match in order to be a donor for Justin. We all crossed our fingers and one donor stood above the rest – our sister, Jenna, would be the one to to save Justin’s life and give him a second chance.

In 2006, Justin had a kidney transplant thanks to Jenna, his donor. It was a tough five years leading up to the surgery, and even tougher weeks of recovery to follow post-surgery. But here we are, celebrating the five year anniversary of Justin’s kidney transplant! Justin is strong, healthy and takes nothing for granted! So much of this journey was made possible due to the work done by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). The NKF’s hard work, research and determination deserve credit for the reason I have my brother with me today! The Annual Gdovin Designs Charity Golf Outing is set up for one reason – to give back to the organization that gave Justin so much!

We’re trying to combine having a great time with helping a great cause. Lots of fun, great food, plenty of drinks and lots of prizes!

The event is dedicated to the memory of WESTON employee Karen Schneider, whose 2002 breast cancer diagnosis was the inspiration for this tournament. While Karen unfortunately lost her battle with the disease in April 2008 at the age of 44, this event continues to serve as our unwavering commitment to aid in the prevention, detection, and cure of breast cancer.

Our 11th Annual Charity Golf Outing, Dinner and Auction will take place Monday, May 17, 2010 at North Hills Country Club.

We are honored to announce the Honorary Chair will be James R. Matthews (Chairman, Montgomery County Commissioners). I am writing to request your consideration of a corporate sponsorship and/or a donation for this event – which raises money to expand our Youth Outdoor Expedition (YOE) program.

YOE is a program targeting at-risk adolescents, ages 12-16, who may experience delinquency, truancy, drug or alcohol dependencies, conflicts at home, mental illness, and other health and safety problems. The YOE program of outdoor recreational activities is designed to build character, self-esteem, and leadership while focusing on teamwork, problem solving, overcoming adversity, and conflict resolution. Kids learn how to camp, climb, hike, fish, swim, and canoe, while developing practical outdoor skills like building a fire and cooking. The majority of the kids that participate in this vital program cannot afford to attend and rely completely on community support.

How can you help make a difference?
