8th Annual Golf Outing

Mark your calendars now for the 8th Annual Nakon Foundation Golf Outing  Monday August 2, 2010 At Red Tail Golf Club in Avon, Ohio

This annual golf outing and silent auction is the Foundation's largest fundraiser and has raised over $270,000 net in six years to support our mission of direct aid to women and their families battling the financial impacts of breast cancer.

Last year, a hot and sunny Monday brought 140 golfers together at Red Tail Golf Club for some challenging golf, great entertainment and a good cause. Hole-in-One Contests, and an incredible silent auction rounded out a day that raised $25,000

Many thanks to our key 2009 sponsors, University Hospitals, Medical Mutual of Ohio, Wickens, Herzer, Panza, Cook & Batista for leading the way.
