We could not be more excited to welcome you to our inaugural Golf for Joy Pro-Am at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. With just two weeks until the event, I am eager to see everyone out on the course and am extremely appreciative of your support for the Children’s Cancer Association

My family has been fortunate enough to stay healthy, but I have a special place in my heart for children who face serious illnesses. I’ve been a volunteer at CCA for many years and this event has evolved as we’ve been able to connect with more friends that share my passion for golf and bringing joy to children when they need it most.

A couple of years ago I read a book called “Final Rounds” by James Dodson. There was a quote in the book that rang true – not only for this event, but for all that we are able to do in helping CCA – “Life is full of sorrow, but it’s up to us to provide the joy.” My hope is that while you pack up your clubs and prepare for a wonderful few days of golf, you’ll remember the power we have to transform moments for these kids and their families. We have enclosed a copy of this book as a special gift of appreciation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Following this letter you will find a schedule of events and a helpful FAQ. Please reach out to Jenny ’Bryan at CCA if you have any questions prior to your arrival. Looking forward to coming together, playing a sport we love, and providing joy.

All the Best,

Gaylord Davis
