FSMA Fall Classic Golf Tournament Needs You

The annual benefit for research for spinal muscular atrophy is short golfers this year. Sign up and have some good exercise for a good cause.

Editor's Note: the annual Fall Classic Charity Golf Tournament, which raises money for a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, could use more golfers. Registration is expected to close Friday. What follows is a re-posting of the original release: 

The seventh annual Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (FSMA) Fall Classic Charity Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, Oct. 4.  

We are looking forward to a beautiful fall day out once again on the links at the New England Country Club in Bellingham, MA as we raise vital funds and important awareness for Families of SMA, the non-profit group searching for a cure for our special teenager, William Johnson.

·         Sign up to golf – as an INDIVIDUAL or as a FOURSOME – great way to have some charitable fun with clients or friends – don’t miss out – the course typically fills - reserve your spot soon.  Even if you don’t submit final paperwork right away, be sure to email me as soon as possible to hold your spot.

·        Sign-up for just dinner/auction - Not a golfer? Spouse of a golfer? – you can still take part in the Friday festivities at 5:00 for cocktails, dinner and our live and silent auctions.

·        Sponsor the event – businesses or individuals can make a tax deductible donation to FSMA to advertise in our auction brochure and on the course – Small or Large, all donations will help us reach our goal.  Businesses please send us your B&W ads for placement in our event booklet or individuals, send us a special note to William that we can print in our booklet.

·        Donate a gem to our Live or Silent Auction – anything goes, services, gift certificates, new items, electronics, collectables, sport event tickets, weekend getaways, baskets

·        Spread the word – help us via your email address book or out on facebook to spread the word of our event to all golf-loving friends and anyone who might help us with our mission to cure William.
