On Friday, April 30, more than 250 golfers descended upon the Fort Jackson Golf Club for the 20th anniversary McDaniels Golf Classic. The golfers were there for one reason – to raise money and awareness for Palmetto Health Cancer Centers. The tournament raised a record-breaking $231,000 for cancer research, programs and services at Palmetto Health Cancer Centers.
Board members played a major part in recruiting team sponsors and donations. Bill Duda is a great example of how our board members make a big difference. Bill was responsible for recruiting two team sponsors totaling $5,500 and securing a $2,000 donation for the “Fund the Need” part of the live auction.
“As a Board member, I have the unique opportunity to impact the patients right here at home in South Carolina. The immeasurable effects of the wonderful support and care my wife and family received during her bout with breast cancer is the reason I give back,” said Bill.
Golfers this year had the opportunity to pay to get their photo taken with the Head USC Football Coach Steve Spurrier. This initiative raised more than $4,000 and would not have been possible without the efforts of Board member David Gilliam encouraging golfers and teams to have their photo taken with Coach Spurrier.
“Like many others, cancer has touched my family. I’m blessed to be part of the Palmetto Health Cancer Centers Board,” said David.
The McDaniels Golf Classic has raised more than 2.6 million for Palmetto Health Cancer Centers in its 20 year history.
