Mon May 5, 9:00 AM - Mon May 5, 6:00 PM
in 26 days

The community is invited to join the Lymphoma Research Foundation for the Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational on Monday, May 5, 2025, as it takes a swing toward fulfilling its mission to realize the promise of science to eradicate lymphoma and serve the community touched by this disease. Supporters will put their golf skills to the test at the iconic La Gorce Country Club, one of the most exclusive private golf clubs in the United States, designed by Jack Nicklaus, while being a catalyst in finding cures. This exclusive tournament highlights the strong donor base and offers a unique, intimate experience for its 72 participants.

Registration will begin at 9 a.m. with breakfast and a driving range. The tournament will commence with a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m., and golfers will enjoy lunch on the green. Following the tournament at 4:30 p.m., players will experience a brief networking cocktail reception and awards ceremony with hors d’oeuvres. All golfers will receive premium gift bags.

Co-chaired by Leigh and Cory Olson, the Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational will honor Walter J. Andrews, partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth, LLP, with the Foundation’s Advocate Award. Recognized as a leader for insurance dispute resolution by Chambers USA and recommended for his advice to policyholders by Legal 500, Andrews focuses his practice on complex insurance recovery, counseling, arbitrations, litigation and expert witness testimony.

Proceeds will support The Lymphoma Research Foundation’s partners who save lives every day by powering breakthroughs in research that cure blood cancers and directly supporting cancer patients in need. Lymphoma is the most common blood cancer in adults and the third most common cancer overall among children. The Lymphoma Research Foundation is the nation’s largest nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to funding lymphoma research and supporting the lymphoma community through evidence-based education, support services and resources.
