The tournament honors philanthropist, business and community leader Jack Mishkin,
an avid golfer, whose life was cut short earlier this year by
Mesothelioma, a devastating disease. TCRF's Jack Mishkin Memorial Cancer
Fund is primarily focused on Mesothelioma and related cancers since the
treatment for one type of cancer can often be utilized to slow the
progress of others as well. Funds generated by the tournament will be
directed towards funding a multi-year study to help uncover new and
innovative therapies for cancer. Currently, fewer than 10% of people
with Mesothelioma live at least 5 years and most survive only 12 to 21
months.
TCRF has been the Southern
California cancer patient's greatest ally since 1996. The foundation is
known for its stellar reputation professionally vetting cancer research
programs and maximizing the impact of donor-investors. TCRF provides
grants for clinical trials, innovative cancer research, caring patient
support and community education. In line with its mission to advance
local cancer research on every level, TCRF supports pioneering and
talented physician scientists from the Southern California community
with awards of annual grants to those doing cutting edge bench-to-bedside lab research. TCRF's free patient support services include patient mentoring, cancer support groups, groundbreaking workshops and support for caregivers.
The full day of golfing and
events includes: a Putting Contest; a Helicopter Ball Drop at 9:45AM
where up to 500 numbered golf balls will be dropped from a hovering
helicopter; Contests for, Longest Drive, Straightest Drive, Closest to
the Pin, Hole-in-one; On-Course Entertainment; Catered Lunch; Awards
Reception; Cocktails and Hors D 'Oeuvres.
