For A Cure NW Events 2023
The 3rd annual SWING for a CURE, on August 26, 2023 at Avalon Golf Links, was incredible! With this golf tournament, we have raised over $60,000 for Seattle Children’s Hospital’s High-Risk Leukemia Program Fund this year! We had 132 golfers and 45 volunteers. Sponsors, donors, and golfers made the day a successful event!
Swing for a Cure 2021
In the summer of 2021, following his relapse, Tom was joined by several fellow educators in brainstorming a golf tournament to raise more money for the High-Risk Leukemia Program (HRL) at Children’s Hospital in Seattle. This included, Don Barbacovi, retired former Principal at Everett High School, who lost his eight-year-old granddaughter to cancer in 2020 after a five-year struggle. After only three months of intensive planning and preparation, Swing for a Cure staged a fundraising tournament in October at Legion Memorial Golf Course in Everett. The event drew local sponsors, donors, and volunteers. With a field of golfers, joined by Dr. Todd Cooper, the head of HRL, and Erika Kreger, Director of Development for Seattle Childrens Foundation, it proved to be a rousing success.
