Organizers anticipate raising more than $50,000 to support cancer research by exceptional Israeli scientists developing earlier diagnostic methods and groundbreaking cancer treatments and therapies. “The research value, dollar for dollar, is unrivaled. Israel conducts research at a fraction of the cost of comparable research in the United States,” said Peter Brown ICA USA board president.
The day begins with registration and a BBQ lunch at 11:00 a.m., and a shotgun start at 1p.m. for the Shamble format event. An awards ceremony, silent auction, cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres follows play. The entry fee, a portion of which is tax deductible, is $300 for one golfer, $550 for a twosome and $1,100 for a foursome. Call Melanie Johnson at (561) 832-9277 or email mjohnson@icausa.org.
Israel Cancer Association USA is a nonprofit established in 1994 in Palm Beach. It raises funds for fellowships that support cancer research conducted by scientists at 38 hospitals, universities and institutions in Israel.
