2008 Golf Ball a Swinging Success
On March 29, nearly 200 guests gathered at the Hilton Boston Logan Airport for the Golf Ball—a spectacular evening of honoring lives lost to cancer, while offering hope to those who fight on. The golf theme prevailed throughout the reception and dinner—from the golf-tee napkin rings to the golf ball-filled centerpieces to the golf hole replica cake for dessert. Guests posed for pictures in front of a mural depicting Augusta National Golf Course; others tested their skill at a putting competition. The silent auction featured sports tickets and memorabilia, hotel getaways, music memorabilia, and more. The event enabled organizers to donate nearly $35,000 to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the largest donation from any single event in the 9-year history of the Par Fore the Cure Golf Classic. It also marks an ambitious start toward the 2008 $60,000 total donation goal. …

About Us
The Par Fore the Cure Golf Classic and its Golf Ball honors the lives of everyone affected by brain tumors, and offers hope to patients, families, and practitioners by raising awareness and funding brain tumor research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. We strive to make our events an occasion of compassion and philanthropy, and the single best time anyone can spend in any golfing realm. Through in-kind food donations and corporate partnerships, we endeavor to run our events efficiently, ensuring that our bottom-line donations increase while our costs remain affordable to all guests. The Par Fore the Cure was founded in 2000 by Michael Strong to honor the memory of friend who lost his battle with a brain tumor. Since then, the Par Fore the Cure has raised $173,000. The 2008 goal is $60,000 through The Golf Ball and golf tournament, raising the nine-year contribution to more than $225,000.
