The 1st golf event was held last year in conjunction with the Sturge Weber Group- Hunter's Dream Colorado organization as being new we needed help in starting. All the monies raised were given to Sturge Weber Kennedy Krieger Institute in MD which is the top hospital in the country for this disease which is unknown how it is gotten and affects a handful of children born with port wine stains. It is manifested mostly through epileptic type seizures similar to mini strokes as well and affects children neurologically as well as physically. The seizures are "quiet" seizures so unless you are right by the child you may be unaware that a seizure is happening. My great nephews seizures started at six months and he spent two weeks in the hospital and has been there numerous times since. He is the sweetest child and one would never know.

All monies raised are used for research for Sturge Weber and Pediatric Epilepsy.

The costs are:
$1200- 3 players + 1 Celeb
$1200- 4 Players
$ 325- Individual Player
$150- Guest- Luncheon,Reception and Special Events

We are also still seeking sponsors for the event
