Why This Tournament Matters
The Lana's Love Foundation isn't just another charity. It's a lifeline for families facing the unimaginable challenge of childhood cancer. Founded by Jim and Cindy Webster after their own daughter, Lana Beth, was diagnosed with cancer, this foundation has a simple yet powerful mission: to bring fun and happiness to kids during their toughest times.
"As bad as having a child with cancer is, it would be 100 times worse if we did not have some resources," Jim and Cindy share. Their experience led them to create Lana's Love, "so those kids can have fun" even in the midst of grueling treatments and hospital stays.
A Crucial Fundraiser
Here's the kicker: this golf tournament isn't just a fun day out. It's the primary fundraiser for Lana's Love Foundation, providing the majority of funds needed to support families throughout the entire year. Every dollar raised goes directly towards creating moments of joy for children battling cancer and their families.
The Impact: More Than Just Fun and Games
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family's world is turned upside down. Parents often face impossible choices between work and being at the hospital. That's where Lana's Love steps in. The foundation provides:
- Fun activities and outings for kids
- Gifts to lift spirits
- Support that allows parents to focus on their child rather than financial worries
As one grateful family shared, "We are so grateful for Lana's Love and for what you do for all the families! We love you!"
