Dick Sanderson Driving 4 Life Golf Tournament - 4.22.10



Golf anyone?  Now's your chance to enjoy a beautiful day playing River Run in Davidson, NC and raise money toward a cure.  One of the finest courses in North Carolina, River Run was designed by former Master's and PGA Champion, Raymond Floyd.

The 6th Annual Dick Sanderson Driving 4 Life Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday, April 22, 2010.

Dick Sanderson was diagnosed with ALS in 2004 and since then, through events like these, almost $500,00 has been raised to support the promising research done at the ALS Therapy Development Institute and to lessen the burden of the ongoing expenses the Sanderson family experiences as a result of the disease.

Driving 4 Life is a multi-million dollar campaign supported by World Golf Hall of Fame Golf Member Tom Watson. Watson's long-time caddie, Bruce Edwards, was diagnosed with ALS in 2003. Edwards succumbed to the disease in 2004. The mission of Driving 4 Life is to find a cure for ALS by funding progressive research. Proceeds from the Dick Sanderson Driving 4 Life sponsorship and participation will benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
