NOMS Ankle & Foot Care Centers has announced plans for its 21st annual Diabetes Golf Benefit, a four-person scramble set for Friday, Aug. 16, at Pine Lakes Golf Club, 6233 W. Liberty St., Hubbard.
All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Diabetes Partnership of Mahoning Valley, which provides education, resources and support for people and families living with diabetes in our community.
“We look forward to this event every year, as it’s a fun way to get together with others to raise money for a local organization that supports the fight against diabetes, a disease that impacts many in our community,” said Dr. Michelle Anania, physician at NOMS and the event’s lead organizer.
“Our goal last year was to raise $16,000 and we exceeded that number, by raising $19,700, which was donated to DPMV to provide resources and scholarships to individuals and families affected by diabetes. We’re increasing our goal to $20,000 this year.”
The event has been sponsored by Ankle & Foot Care Centers since 1999 and has raised nearly $185,000 for services and education for diabetes patients.
A shotgun start is scheduled for 10:30 a.m., following a 9:30 a.m. registration. The $100-fee-per golfer includes 18 holes of golf, lunch and dinner, beverages on the course and skill contests. Lunch will be served on the course with dinner at the pavilion immediately following the event. Players can sign up as a foursome, individuals or pairs.
Registration deadline is Friday, Aug. 2. There are also opportunities to support this event through hole and corporate sponsorships. Call Michael Vallas at 330-758-6226, ext. 207 for more details.
