1st Annual Connor Johnson Invitational - Connor Johnson Invitational

I have known Mariam for over 10 years now and it was devastating when we found out that Connor had been diagnosed with a really rare brain cancer. This is an event that they have put together to support the pediatric brain cancer research at Packard in Stanford.
This is a note that Mariam sent out and the link of the event. Please support them if you can.

The Oz Foundation is generously hosting a special golf tournament on May 27th in honor of our late son, Connor Johnson. Connor was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer called DIPG in February 2010 at only 3 ½ years old. Most kids with this diagnosis live less than 9 months and the horrific prognosis for this disease has not changed in 35 years. Our Connor lived a wonderful 16 months and was 5 when he passed away last year. We miss him terribly. He was our ray of sunshine and brightened a room with his infectious smile. Please join us to change the odds for these kids and help derive a better prognosis. We are not too far off but we need your help.

The event is for adults and kids--golfers and non-golfers. It will be fun, come golf with your family. There will also be a silent auction. 100% of proceeds will go towards pediatric brain cancer research. Even if you can't make it, you can donate through the website. Thank you!
