Par For The Course | Nancy Cannon tournament is August 7 at Paradise Lake
The annual Nancy Cannon Memorial golf tournament has raised more than $63,033 in the last seven years to honor their mom, grandma, and cherished family member who was also an avid golfer.
The eighth annual outing continues to raise funds to support Stewart’s Caring Place, a cancer wellness center that offers supportive programs and services at no cost to over 2,000 individuals and families who are on a cancer journey.
The four-person scramble is set for Aug. 7 at Paradise Lake Country Club in Suffield.
