Par Fore the Cure
The Third Annual Golf Ball
"Iron" your suits for The Golf Ball, a golf-themed creative black-tie gala presented by the Par Fore the Cure Golf Classic and benefiting the Jimmy Fund. Enjoy a sit-down dinner, drinks, inspirational speakers, entertainment, VIP cocktail hour, raffles (including Sox tickets) and an exciting silent auction, all to support brain tumor research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. So join us for this evening of fun and philanthropy.
Many costs for this event have been covered either by cash or in-kind food contributions, therefore, more contributions for the eventing will go directly to the Jimmy Fund.

Creative Black Tie (optional)(Working toward a golf-theme in your attire is encouraged)
Men who wish to dress in tuxedo may do so. If men do not own or wish to rent a tuxedo, you need not feel compelled to do so. A black, dark navy, or dark grey suit would be an acceptable substitute.
Women can dress as formally as black tie, but can also get away with a shorter, cocktail style dress.
