Benefit Golf Tournament

This coming Saturday Jon will be participating in a benefit golf tournament. Last March, my sister-in-law's Mother, Margaret Manning, was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma, which is a rare and aggressive cancer. She began receiving treatment in April from the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas. She is currently showing great improvements. However, not all of her medications are covered by her insurance and she needs to remain on them until at least March. My brother has organized a golf tournament to raise funds for the $36, 000 that they still need in order to pay for her medication.

I would deeply appreciate any help that you could give in sponsoring Jon in this tournament. He will be playing (or more likely struggling through) 18-holes and our goal is to raise $56/hole. If at all possible, we are looking for pledges of $1-$10 per hole (or more). Jon and I are covering the costs of the tournament, so all donations made will go directly to Margaret's recovery.

The donation process is really easy. You can make a donation online, through a non-profit organization called Positive Impact, by clicking here. Be sure to specify Margaret Manning as the recipient. Or, if you prefer, you can always make a check out to Positive Impact, with Margaret Manning in the memo line and mail it to: Positive Impact; PO Box 8048; Chandler AZ 85246.

And if you'd like to help out, but feel that $18 or more is a little too much for you right now, then please donate whatever you feel comfortable with. Even $5 would be a great help! Thank you so much! Your donation is truly a great blessing to me and my family.
