Event Recap
May 5, 2008
Hershey Country Club
Eighth Annual Scramble to Conquer Childhood Cancer
On a truly picture perfect day, 32 foursomes took to the links to support the Four Diamonds patients and their families through the eighth annual Scramble to Conquer Childhood Cancer. The Four Diamonds golf tournament was held on Monday, May 5 at the Hershey Country Club.
The day went smoothly and the combined support from the sponsors, advertisers, and donors allowed the Fund to raise more than $33,000 from the tournament. Since the tournament's inception, over $200,000 has been raised For The Kids!
The committee is already working on the 2009 tournament and has secured the date: Monday, May 18. The tournament will be held again at the Hershey Country Club on the East Course. If anyone is interested in supporting the 2009 tournament, please contact the Four Diamonds office at (717) 531-6086 to be added to our mailing list.
