Tee'd Off at Ms

After personally battling MS along with three other family members, Dave Blavat has made it his personal mission to raise money for the MS Society so that one day no other family will have to endure the slowly debilitating consequences of this disease.

Multiple Sclerosis is an unpredictable and often disabling disease that interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body. Many times people with symptoms of MS dismiss or overlook them as no big deal, but after diagnosis, they realize the signs were there. Common MS symptoms include numbness in the hands or feet, occasional temporary sight loss, chronic exhaustion and cognitive disorders.

One in every 500 residents in Wisconsin lives with MS, giving our state one of the highest incidence rates in the country. While the progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those affected by the disease. The goal of this event is to help in the fight to find better treatments, options and ultimately a cure.

Mark your calendars. The Tee’d Off at MS Charity Golf Outing will be held on Friday, September 17th, 2010 at Lake Breeze Golf Club in Winneconne, WI. All proceeds will go to The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, helping to fund research and education to help find a cure. Volunteers, sponsors and of course, golfers are all needed to make this event a success.

The 18-hole scramble begins with a 12:00 pm shotgun start. A box lunch will be served on the course and a picnic dinner will be held in the clubhouse afterward. Door prizes, silent auction and a raffle will be available to all golfers and attendees. Golf registration is $80 per person and is open to the public. Sponsorship opportunities are available ranging from $100–$3000.
