The Borland Groover Foundation\u2019s inaugural Fore! To Get Screened golf tournament drew a strong turnout Friday, Oct. 2, at King & Bear Golf Course in St. Augustine, bringing golfers, sponsors and community partners together to raise funds for colon cancer prevention, screening access and patient assistance.<\/p>\n
The best-ball tournament featured sponsor activations throughout the course, lunch, a raffle and an awards presentation. Built around the message \u201cYour best shot is prevention,\u201d the event created a new way for the community to support the foundation\u2019s work alongside their other 5K fundraiser for awareness, March To Get Screened.<\/p>\n
Funds raised through Fore! To Get Screened will support foundation programs that help expand access to screening and care, including financial assistance of up to $5,000 for eligible patients facing treatment-related expenses and screening colonoscopy vouchers for underinsured members of the community.<\/p>\n
Following the positive response to the inaugural tournament, the foundation looks forward to bringing Fore! To Get Screened back next year and continuing to build the event as a community tradition in support of colorectal cancer prevention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Borland Groover Foundation\u2019s inaugural Fore!
