News / Updates - Swinging at CF

25 Years - And hopefully the LAST

Recognize that southpaw swing?  It's none other than football great Boomer Esiason, knocking it home in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at Monday's 25th Annual Wall Street Charity Golf Classic at Winged Foot Country Club.  Esiason, a long time supporter of the fight to cure Cystic Fibrosis, even before his own son's diagnosis, finished handsomely with his foursome, including co-host Craig Carton

That stifling heat finally broke giving way to a perfect day on the turf.  The course was in great shape and the delicate balance of moisture was well managed by the crew.  (Golfers: always be kind to your groundkeepers!)

SWAG, prizes and really delicious meals aside, participants went home with hearts full.  Moving and informative speakers rallied incredible support, adding more and more tomorrows.  Event Founder Tom Hughes was proud to see the tournament flourish in its 25 years, but shared the hope that next year, there won't be a need for such a fundraiser... when CF just stands for Cure Found.
