Charity Golf Tournament Raises Funds for Stomach Cancer

Debbie’s Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer (DDF hosted its 4th annual South Florida Dream Fore a Cure Golf Tournament on Nov 14, 2019, at the Jacaranda Golf Club in Plantation, Florida. The tournament, which raised nearly $17,000 this year, is held annually as part of DDF’s mission to raise awareness and funds for stomach cancer research.

Participants of the event enjoyed various competitions, a raffle drawing, and a silent auction featuring sports memorabilia, dining, and travel experiences, followed by an awards ceremony and dinner.

Event Chair Jonathan Perrillo led the event for the fourth year in a row alongside his co-chair Jon Carlson and their wonderful committee.

“As one of the founders of this tournament, it’s inspiring to witness it grow every year,” said Perrillo. “This tournament is very important to me because we are here to reinforce the dream of our late founder Debbie Zelman. We greatly appreciate the dedication of DDF staff, sponsors, and participants because they allow us to make a significant difference in funding stomach cancer research.”
