The 14th annual Mike Quinn Golf Classic will be held on May 17 to help raise funds for Catherine (Caty) Maurer and Anna Chermside.
The golf classic was started in 1990 to help raise money for Mike Quinn, a Lake Orion youth with leukemia. Over the past 13 years, funds have been raised from the event for other area children in need of assistance.
Maurer, one of this year’s recipients, is two and a half years old, and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoblastic Lymphoma of B-Type in February of 2002. She is being treated with chemotherapy and will continue with this treatment for another year.
Chermside, this year’s other recipient, is three years old, and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in January of 2003. She started her two-year chemotherapy treatment program in January.
Hole or Green Sponsorships are available for the golf outing for $500 or $250. The donation earns your name on a sign at the tee or green designating your donation, along with two tickets to the outing for $500 sponsors and one for $250 sponsors.
For a donation of $100, a donor’s name will be listed on a sign that will be posted at the golf course and party. Service or goods may be donated for a door prize or auction item, or to be used at the party following the outing.
To participate in the outing, the cost is $100, which covers the cost of golf, a cart, admission to the party, including dinner, beer, prizes and dancing. To participate only in the party is $35
The four-person scramble will be held May 17 with a 1 p.m. shot gun start, at Copper Hills Golf Course in Oxford. The party will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Orion Road in Lake Orion, featuring “Shadow” and dancing.
