HAMPDEN The eighth annual Golf4ALS golf tournament will take place on Aug. 7 and is open to golfers who want to have a great day of golf and help raise funds to be used for research into a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
The Western Massachusetts effort is dedicated to West Springfield native Tony Tucker, who has been living with the disease for over 14 years. All money raised goes directly to support the ALS Therapy Development Institute, located in Cambridge, Mass. The local Golf4ALS effort has been able to raise over $136,000 during the past seven years, according to Walter Tucker, co-chair and founder of the Golf4ALS Committee.
The tournament will take place at the Hampden Country Club, 128 Wilbraham Rd., Hampden. The scramble format outing will begin at 9 a.m. and the cost per player is $110, which includes all greens fees, use of all facilities at the club, carts, lunch and dinner. In addition to hole-in-one prizes, there are many door prizes donated by local companies. There is also a silent auction which will include autographed sports memorabilia look for the Celtics basketball signed by members of the 2008 team, Red Sox tickets, gift baskets and much more. Mark your calendars to join the fun and raise money for a tremendously worthy cause.
