The First Tee of Connecticut

<h1>18 Hole Stroll</h1>
Sunday, June 2nd, 2024 7:30am Check-In 8:15am Opening Ceremony and Walk Kick-Off The First Tee - Connecticut 55 Golf Club Road Cromwell, CT 06416
The 18 Hole Stroll, part of the 2024 Travelers Championship Birdies for Charity program, is an exciting and heartwarming fundraising walk honoring the lives of those lost to pancreatic cancer and providing hope for all impacted by this devastating disease. In support of the Lustgarten Foundation, the largest private funder of the world’s preeminent pancreatic cancer researchers, we have one collective mission: transform pancreatic cancer into a curable disease!
Join us as we honor loved ones and raise awareness. Registration is free, fundraising and donations are encouraged - Register, Donate, Share.
This stroll was founded by Brittany Vose who lost her father, John Vose, to pancreatic cancer when she was just 5 years old. As the years passed, she felt compelled to spread awareness and support research around this devastating and historically underfunded disease. Since its inception, the 18 Hole Stroll has raised $775,800 in support of the Lustgarten Foundation, with a goal of breaking $1M! 100% of all donations and fundraising fund lifesaving pancreatic cancer research.
Following the Walk, join us for an array of fun activities, including a lively Silent Auction, inspiring speakers, and much more! You can look forward to a morning filled with hope, remembrance, and action! So, whether you're walking in memory of a loved one, supporting a friend, or simply joining us for a fun-filled morning, the 18 Hole Stroll is the perfect way to make a positive impact for those who need it most.
We look forward to seeing you on the 2nd of June!
