In its third year, JJ’s Drive for a Cure raised an estimated $30,000 for PKD. Organizer Jay Salmon said 144 golfers took part in the tournament, , held June 25 in Lake George, New York. All gave generously to several raffles and games, including 50/50 and Poker Run.
“It was a fantastic day,” Salmon said, citing the gorgeous weather and generous supporters.
Salmon’s wife, Michelle, and son, JJ, both have PKD.
“My motivation is simple: to help raise money and awareness for PKD and the PKD Foundation,” Salmon said. “We need to find a cure or a medicine that will prevent the progression of the disease. Although golf tournaments are a lot of work to organize, it is an event that anyone can put together to raise a lot of money for the cause.”
