| We are excited to announce the 7th Annual Meijer Charity Classic. We hope you will be able to join us August 31, 2010 at the beautiful Highlands Golf Club for a fun filled day of golf on this classic Donald Ross course, to raise funds for Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids.
Gilda’s Club is a national organization started in honor of the late Gilda Radner from Saturday Night Live, by her husband Gene Wilder, cancer therapist Joanne Bull and Joel Siegel. It was Gilda’s wish that anyone dealing with cancer would be able to receive the kind of support she found during her treatment. Today, there are over thirty Gilda’s Clubs and fifty thousand members nationwide that offer free supoort for men, women and children living with any kind of cancer, along with their families and friends.
The 2010 Meijer Charity Classic Pro-Am will feature 21 professionals from the LPGA and Futures Tours. This event has been supported by past participants such as Nancy Lopez, Beth Daniel, Angela Sanford, Katherine Hull, Christina Kim and a local hero, Allison Fouch, to mention a few.
Our goal is simple….to raise money for Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids through the Meijer Charity Classic Pro-Am, and ultimately, to raise money for all the local cancer related charities through an LPGA Tour stop at the Highlands Golf Club of Grand Rapids.
