“When I walked out of my last cancer treatment at Penn, my perspective on life had changed. I made the decision right then and there to follow my dream and open my own business. Now that we are up and running, I want to show my deep appreciation and support for the institution that gave me hope and saved my life, while ensuring other men with cancer also have the opportunity to follow their dreams.”

“My sister, Sarah, was a remarkable young woman from whom I continue to learn about facing challenges with an optimistic view of the future. She was enthusiastic about life and never lost sight of what could be, rather than what is right now. Organizing a charitable golf tournament in her name helps keep her spirit alive in the hearts of many, but most importantly in our own hearts. I could never tell you often enough how grateful we are to the people who have given their time and support to this cause. Sarah would have enjoyed their company and counted them as friends.”
