To the Editor:

Jimmy Fund Golf extends its sincerest thanks to the organizers and sponsors of Swing for Sharon held on July 30, 2016 at Rolling Greens Golf Course in North Kingstown. Special recognition and appreciation goes to Frank Venezia of West Warwick and the volunteers who organized the seventh annual event.

The dedicated sponsors, participants and volunteers helped raise critical funds in memory of Sharon Venezia to support the Colon Cancer Fund’s lifesaving research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Swing for Sharon is one of the many golf tournaments that will be held in 2016 to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber.

Jimmy Fund Golf is the oldest and largest charity golf program in the country. Now in its 34th year, Jimmy Fund Golf has raised more than $110 million to support adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. From 18-hole golf tournaments to mini golf events and daylong golf marathons, golfers of all ages and skill levels can conquer cancer through Jimmy Fund Golf. To learn more, visit jimmyfundgolf.org.
