Thank you for making Swing "FORE" a Cure 2022 a success! The LGS Foundation’s Inaugural Swing "FORE" A Cure Golf Outing was held last month in Dublin, Ohio. The event was designed to raise awareness about LGS in the greater Columbus community and to raise funds for the Foundation’s research and family support programs. Fifty-six players enjoyed a round of golf, including special contests, a dinner, a raffle, and a silent auction. Over $11,000 was raised through the combined efforts of golfers, volunteers, sponsors, and donors. Karen and Jeff Groff, parents to Dan, who has LGS, and hosts of the outing, reported that six individuals with LGS were represented by golfers. “We were fortunate to connect with three more Ohio families that we did not previously know,” they said. "The event was a lot of fun, and it helped create a community of support.” One of the golfers commented, “I had no idea about what those with LGS deal with on a daily basis.” The Groffs are active volunteers for the LGS Foundation, and they work every day to create hope and improve the lives of those impacted by LGS. |
