Our Next Event Details!
Dear Sir or Madam,
For seven years we have hosted a charity golf tournament with the intention to raise money and awareness to combat diabetes. After the incredible success of the tournament, a charitable foundation came to life. In our eighth year we are proud to introduce The TJ-JL Foundation, Inc. a 501(c)3 corporation. In addition, we also have been given the honor to add an Ambassador to our foundation and for the 2012 year we are delighted to announce, Jake Giulieri, an amazing young man with type 1 diabetes as the face of TJ-JL. In the development of this foundation our mission will be able to reach a larger audience, in turn, continuing to do our part to move closer to a cure. Your donation allows diabetes programs to continue to educate, assist and provide resources to local communities and across the nation.
Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes, which translates into over 8% of the population. With 18.8 million diagnosed cases of diabetes, that still leaves 7 million undiagnosed cases; as many as 3 million of those cases are type 1 diabetes. By 2030 diabetes is expected to affect as many as 552 million people worldwide. With a foundation such as ours, the hope is to start promoting early education of the disease and to help find a cure.
In 2012, we plan to continue our efforts to raise money and awareness to fight this disease. Without your continued support there is no way any of this would be possible. Through the generous efforts of sponsors such as yourself we have been able to donate over $100,000 to the American Diabetes Association and various national diabetes foundations over the course of our mission. This year’s tournament will be held at Montgomery Country Club on September 10th, 2012. We have set a goal to raise $60,000 in our eighth year by adding more fundraising events in addition to our annual golf classic. We invite you to be part of this mission to find a cure and put an end to this epidemic.
Regards,
The TJ-JL Foundation, Inc. Executive Board
