RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE TOURNAMENT

Can you imagine finding out your five year old son has leukemia? Or your newborn has heart disease? No parent ever wants to imagine this or have to face the reality of it. But in the unfortunate circumstance that it does happen, The Ronald McDonald House provides a “home away from home” for children receiving treatment at Children’s Hospital and for their families. The 19th annual, Ronald McDonald House Golf Tournament was held on Monday, July 18th at Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen. 

Pro Players Association celebrities who participated in the tournament included Colorado Mammoth Tom Ethington and Nick Carlson; former Broncos Jerry Sturm, Ron Egloff; former Green Bay Packer Walter Stanley; Arena League Hall of Famers Myron Jefferson and Freddie Gayles; former CU and Crush Quarterback Bobby Pesavento.

They all had their best day golfing because they made the difference in the life of a child.
