| OUR CAUSE |
Jake Phillips and John Groves were two valued employees and dedicated patient advocates of Faith Prosthetic-Orthotic Services. The Phillips/Groves tournament is held in honor of their memory and proceeds from the event benefit various charities such as the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA). The American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting brain tumor research, while offering information and support to brain tumor patients and their families. Your participation in this event will help us contribute to organizations that get relatively little exposure, but which represent significant victim bases.
Your help and participation will help make a difference in the lives of each person effected by this disease. Please join our golf tournament, become a sponsor or donate to help this great cause! We thank you in advance for your support of these philanthropic endeavors.
We are also making a donation to the Christopher Barton Scholarship Fund at CPCC. This is a great cause that will help thousands of students each year.
