fundraiser

A friend recently reached out to me from my hometown of White Oak, and graciously asked if I could spread the word about an event they were hosting to raise funds for a resident of White Oak who is battling with a rare form of cancer.

2013, was another record breaking year for the Patriot Golf Classic and the UT Tyler Patriot Suddenlink Million Dollar Hole-in-One contest: $200,269.69 was raised through the efforts of these two groups. This is the largest amount raised thus far in the 27-year history of the fundraiser...

Purple is the color that’s become attached to pancreatic cancer awareness campaigns. Pictured is the memorial for Patrick Swayze, when he died of pancreatic cancer in 2009. East Texans gathered Sunday to raise money and awareness for one person from Tyler who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. And they attempted to break a world record by doing it.
