Golfing With Purpose

The 23rd Annual Research Medical Center Golf Classic & Auction will be held on Monday, August 20, at Blue Hills Country Club. Tee off is at 12:30 p.m. The event will benefit The Research Foundation’s ThinkFirst Injury Prevention Program. Thinkfirst provides free lifesaving assemblies in K-12 schools presented by young people who have sustained a brain or spinal cord injury. They share how seat belts, helmets, safe driving and other methods can prevent traumatic injuries and deaths. The program is very successful, reaching more than 35,000 Greater Kansas City youth each year.

You can help by participating as a sponsor, golfer or by donating an auction item. The cost to golf as an individual is $275. Sponsorships range from $125 to $5,000 and many include golfing spots. To learn more, visit The Research Foundation website:
