We are hosting this golf tournament to bring our community together around a shared purpose: changing the future of pancreatic cancer. What began as a way to honor Craig has become a powerful opportunity to fund critical research, raise awareness, and create meaningful impact. Every swing, every sponsorship, and every shared moment helps move us closer to better treatments, earlier detection, and more time for patients and families.
