Jim Boeheim & Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday Partner to Fight Prostate Cancer in 2009
http://www.mbsun.com/boeheim.jpgMyrtle Beach Golf Holiday's Know Your Score - Fight Prostate Cancer campaign has added a hall of fame coach to lead the effort in 2009. Legendary Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim, a prostate cancer survivor, will be the national spokesperson for Know Your Score in 2009.
"I am thrilled to join the 'Know Your Score' team to help raise money for prostate cancer research," said Boeheim. "I've been involved in athletics all my life and know that teams that are united have better chances of defeating their opponent. Prostate cancer is definitely one of the most difficult challenges that I've faced and I look forward to working with the strong team of Zero and Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday to help raise money and awareness of the number one health threat to men."
"We are excited about starting the second year of the 'Know Your Score' campaign and look forward to building on our success from the inaugural year," said Bill Golden, president of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. "Myrtle Beach is known as the 'Golf Capital of the World' and we see more than one million golfers per year here, most of which are the exact Zero demographic, men who are 45 years of age and older. The entire Myrtle Beach golf community has made a long-term commitment to raise awareness of the dangers of prostate cancer, and we believe that Coach Boeheim will convey that message to be screened early and often."
The Know Your Score - Fight Prostate Cancer initiative raises money throughout the year with closest-to-the-pin contests, and will culminate with the second annual Celebrity Golf Tournament and Gala, which includes a silent auction, on August 29, 2009.
