Proceeds from this charity event <br />will be used to support Mercy and Unity Hospitals Cancer Programs. <br /> <br />The Cancer Resource Centers provide programs and services to our communities in the North <br />Metro, Programs are offered free of charge or at a minimal cost, and are open to the public. The <br />focus is on education, inspirational and spiritual resources, and support groups for the patient and <br />families. Education topics include nutrition and cancer, genetics and cancer and many others. <br />Additional resources include free wigs, scarves and prosthetics. In add~n to these services, <br />funds will also be used to support our other cancer programs-prevention, diagnosis, treatment, <br />and cure - with an emphasis on providing comfort and healing to our patients and their families. <br /> <br />The cancer program at Mercy and Unity Hospitals saw over 1,400 new cancer patients in 2008; a <br />14% increase from new cancer patients in 2007. The Cancer Resource Centers supported more <br />. <br />than 11,000 people through visits, emotional support, transportation issues, support groups, <br />integrated therapy sessions, educational forums, nutritional consults, and legal questions. Also in <br />2008, over $23,000 in financial assistance was provided to 37 patients with a variety of financial <br />emergencies including mortgage and car payments, utility bills, medication costs and medical <br />expenses because cancer patients frequently experience financial challenges due to their illness. <br /> <br />Our goal is to promote golf as a fun and healthy activity for all skill levels as we raise money to <br />help those in our community. We are asking for your help in reaching that goal. <br /> <br />You have the opportunity to contribute in a variety of ways. Please consider supporting the <br />event by donating a door prize, becoming a sponsor, or registering a team of golfers.
