Swing For Par Golf Outing Supports Prostate Cancer Research

Here’s a premium golf outing for a worthy cause:

The 9th Annual “Swing for PAR” Golf Tournament to benefit prostate cancer research and education at U-M Golf Course will be hold Monday, June 15, 2009 at the University of Michigan Golf Course, a private course recently restored to its original Alister MacKenzie design. This 18-hole scramble is hosted by the PAR (Prostate Awareness and Research) Fund and the U-M Department of Urology.

The $400 single golfer package (foursome for $1,600) includes 18 holes, lunch and dinner catered by Knight’s Steak House, a special event gift, prize opportunities, and a silent auction. Skill contests feature a $100,000 Shoot-Out with four qualifiers, and a Hole-in-One will win a two-year auto lease. This year, a dinner-only ticket for $75 allows non-golfers to enjoy dinner and the evening’s program, too. Sponsorship opportunities are also available and a portion of all donations are tax deductible.

For more information on attending or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Lindsay Caldwell at the U-M Department of Urology, 734-763-6395 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

The UM Golf Course is an outstanding track and this would be a great time to try it out.
