COOLING CANCER GOLF TOURNAMENT 2024

COOLING CANCER GOLF TOURNAMENT
AUGUST 30, 2024 - HOAKALEI COUNTRY CLUB

If smiles could cure cancer, we would have done it!
Mahalo to all of our incredible Sponsors, Volunteers, Donors and Golfers who made the 2024 Cooling Cancer Golf Tournament the best ever!  Over 168 golfers took to the course to help us raise money for the University of Hawaii Cancer Center.  My sincere thanks to everyone who participated and donated to this great cause.  Special thanks To Corey Correa from Aloha Freight.  Without Corey's encouragement, connections, money and support this tournament could not happen.  Every time I want to throw in the towel because of all the work that is involved in preparing and executing this tournament, Corey was there to talk me off the ledge and lend his support.  Thanks to my Wife Shirley and Keli for getting 100% behind this tournament and the cause and supporting me in every way imaginable.  Thanks to Deb, Chris, Mary Ann, Louise, Brigitte, Nicole and the crew at Admor HVAC for doing the heavy lifting and making this the best golf tournament in Hawaii.  Without your brains, hard work and support we could not have pulled this off.  Mahalo to Jess Bandol who did all of our flyers, banners, websites and promotional designs.  Mahalo to Scott Simpson and Julie Brooks, Hawaii Men's and Women's Golf Coaches.  Mahalo to Gwen Nakamura, Director of the University of Hawaii Band and Mike Baker, Hawaii Cheer Coach.  The U.H. Band, Rainbow Dancers and Cheerleaders make a huge impact on the spirit of this event and literally give me goose bumps when they begin the tournament.  Mahalo to Darren Sano and the entire staff and management of Hoakalei Country Club.  The course was in magnificent shape and is the best golf course on Oahu!  Finally I would like to pray for everyone fighting cancer and hope that our small contribution to cancer research will help in some way.  For those of you who have lost loved ones to cancer like me, I pray for your health and strength to get through your loss.
This truly is a tournament like no other!
