Felpausch Foundation golf outing to help cancer patients

(L-R) Corey LaGro, organizer of the annual Felpausch Foundation golf outing joins cancer care staff members Marlene Stemaly, Wayne Young, Cassandra Yorke, and Rob Sieffert as they prepare for the shotgun start on July 25. Monies raised from this outing will go toward The Cancer Care Center's Medication Fund at Battle Creek Health System to help the uninsured receive needed cancer medications.

If you are interested in golf, and want to help local cancer survivors with their medications, then this event may be just 'what the doctor ordered.'

The Felpausch Foundation is hosting its second annual golf outing on Saturday, July 25, at Binder Park Golf Course, south of Battle Creek. Registration is scheduled for 2 p.m. with a shotgun start at 2:30 p.m.

Incentive auction and raffle prizes include among other things, tickets to Notre Dame and Michigan State University football games, and autographed items from the Detroit Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings.

Since administrative costs will be covered by the Foundation, all proceeds from this event will go to The Cancer Care Center's Cancer Medication Fund at Battle Creek Health System. This fund assures that cancer patients who have little or no insurance will have access to needed medications for their treatments.
