We are pleased to announce that The Inaugural Craig Connelly Golf Challenge will be held Monday, July 21, 2008 at the Blue Bell Country Club in Blue Bell, PA. This scramble golf event is being held as a fundraiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s LiveSTRONG Challenge, a non-profit organization that supports cancer research and helps cancer survivors.
This tournament honors the memory of Craig Connelly, the 2007 Philadelphia LiveSTRONG Challenge Award winner. Craig spent two years battling testicular cancer. During his fight with cancer, Craig always kept a positive attitude towards beating his disease and inspired others he met to do the same. Through five different types of treatment, he lived every day fully, surrounded and supported by his wife, family and friends. Although Craig lost his battle on December 1, 2007 at the age of 39; his inspiration and will to live has brought us together to continue the fight!
The LiveSTRONG Challenge award recognizes an individual who has made a significant impact in the fight against cancer. Craig was awarded the honor because of “his incredible strength and determination in the face of his cancer diagnosis.” The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) unites people through programs and experiences to empower cancer survivors to live life on their own terms and to raise awareness and funds for the fight against cancer. This was a big part of Craig’s life and were are committed to continuing to raise funds and to support the LAF in his honor.
On behalf of the Craig Connelly Golf Challenge, I thank you for your consideration and hope that you can assist us in meeting our goals and invite you to join us as a player or as a sponsor.
