The collective generosity of these teams further reinforces our dedication to the cause. This helped us donate an additional $500 to the American Cancer Society.
We are deeply grateful for the tremendous support from the participating teams and all the individuals who backed this tournament. Our efforts not only serve as a source of encouragement for the participants but also highlight the significant impact we can achieve when we join forces in the fight against cancer.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering dedication and the invaluable work you all do, which enables us to support the American Cancer Society and KCHope Lodge in aiding patients and raising awareness. It is an honor for us to contribute to this noble cause, and we eagerly anticipate continued support in the future.
