SYRACUSE — The Cancer Care Fund of Kosciusko County hosted its 4th Annual Glow Golf event at Maxwelton Golf Club in Syracuse, Friday evening, June 17.
The proceeds from the event go to Kosciusko County residents currently undergoing cancer treatment. Lisa Yager Rosales, and her husband, Eric, headed this year’s CCF Glow Golf event. Yager Rosales said, “We have a very small committee of people who volunteer to help and we could always use more.”
When asked if she could share any stories about local residents who have benefited from CCF, she said, “One patient needed treatment and had to travel all the way to Cincinnati, Ohio, so we were able to help with transportation costs, and other expenses.” Tonya Kross, who also was working the event, added, “My husband, David Kross, benefited greatly from the funds we received and we would have been lost without them.”
Deb Mayer, who also volunteers with CCF, said, “We had one patient living in Akron, who could not have made it to their treatment without the gas cards we provided.”
There were 18 teams who signed up for this year’s event. Everyone was in a very jovial mood and excited to play glow in the dark golf. The Tempos, a band from Indianapolis, performed at the event. They have performed at all four years of the event’s history.
Upcoming Cancer Care Fund of Kosciusko County events include: The Freaky 5K Family Halloween Run/Walk at K21 Health Pavilion, Warsaw, Oct. 20; The Power of Pink Champagne Brunch at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club, Leesburg, Oct. 30; and The Annual Cancer Care Fund Charity Golf Fundraiser, at a yet to be determined location, Sept. 12.
