Thank you for joining us for the 12th annual Fore the Kids Golf Tournament, a day of golf, connection and celebration at the beautiful Palmas del Mar Athletic Club in Humacao, Puerto Rico.
St. Jude supporters from across Puerto Rico came together to be part of something bigger than ourselves and support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.
All proceeds from this event benefit St. Jude, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
For information on sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at next year's event, contact Edna Schmidt at edna.schmidt@alsac.stjude.org.
Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped raise the survival rate for children with cancer in the United States, where 4 out of 5 children survive cancer. In many countries, however, 1 out of 5 children who develop cancer will survive. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
