On August 2nd, 2010, I decided to organize the 2010 MelanOpen charity golf tournament - a way for me and all of the people close to Dad to show our support in his fight against Cancer. We had one goal, to raise as much money as possible for Melanoma Research at Sunnybrook Hospital.
On August 12th, 2010, Maples Of Ballantrae confirmed that October 2nd would be d-day. You can golf in October, right?
In the next few weeks, I roped in the following individuals to help make it all come together:
In exactly 2 months, we raised a whopping $13,318 for The Sunnybrook Foundation, all money being donated towards Melanoma research specifically. We handed over the money to my Dad's Oncologist, Dr Teresa Petrella (as you can see, he's been in VERY good hands) - the final piece to the 2010 MelanOpen Charity Golf Tournament puzzle.
Thank you to all. Here's to 2011!

In the next few weeks, I roped in the following individuals to help make it all come together:
- Michael Johnston, my lovely husband, to help keep me sane and make sure all the t's were crossed and i's were dotted.
- Simon Greer, our long time friend, to help design the logo and help facilitate the production of our wonderful SWAG - Davey buttons, hats, banners and all things creative.
- Jen Short to do be our wonderful photographer extraordinare (and Kim Cranfield to be her driver and 2nd in command.)
- The amazing and dedicated MelanOpen Volunteers: Joann Vitug, Tyler Walker, Juliana Aristizabal, Shannon Curley, Anne-Marie O'Neill, Keera Jeschkeit and Melissa Grant. The day just would not have come together without these dedicated and supportive individuals.
