Kudos to our Board of Directors, our Golf Classic Chairman Donald Raddatz, MD, and our fantastic Volunteers, who all went the extra mile to make the day a success. We also recognize our incredible sponsors for the outstanding support we received from people with lupus, their loved ones, unions, healthcare professionals, and employers, patient advocacy organizations, and corporations.

Thank you to the golfers for participating and being good sports by purchasing raffles and staying through our program. Kudos to the Turning Stone Sales, Catering and Golf Staff for helping us to host a premier event each year. Fundraising events like this cannot succeed without the collective efforts and tremendous heart of everyone involved.
