2017 HANLEY FOUNDATION GOLF CLASSIC ABOVE PAR
Foundation’s annual benefit returns to the prestigious The Dye Preserve in Jupiter
(Jupiter, Fla.) Supporters of the 18th Annual Hanley Foundation Golf Classic will tee off at The Dye Preserve in Jupiter on Monday, March 20, 2017. Situated on several acres of picturesque property, the elite club will serve as the backdrop for the second year in a row for the annual benefit. Co-chairs Suzanne Holmes and Gary Harris will lead the half-day event which starts with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start, followed by 18-holes of competitive play. Winners will be announced during the awards ceremony and always popular “Luncheon with the Suits” at 1 p.m.
“We are thrilled to be back again at The Dye Preserve for our annual Golf Classic,” said Jan Cairnes, executive director for Hanley Foundation. “Thank you to this year’s leadership for all they are doing to raise awareness of the event and the Foundation’s mission. Addiction is a disease that affects one in four people in the United States, which is why we allocate all proceeds from the Golf Classic to help Hanley Foundation provide access to high quality treatment and education to those that otherwise could not afford it.”
In the early 1980s, Mary Jane and Jack Hanley retired to Palm Beach County to discover the absence of any facilities dedicated to quality substance abuse treatment. Through the couple’s visionary leadership, the Hanley Center and Hanley Center Foundation were established. Now known simply as Hanley Foundation, the charitable 501(c)(3) organization provides programming and grant support for statewide substance use disorder advocacy, prevention, education, and access to quality treatment. The Foundation’s prevention programming is available free of charge to schools, churches, and community groups.
In addition to the Co-chairs, leadership for this year’s Golf Classic includes Junior Chairman Justin Claud, Golf Venue Chairman Jack Barrett and Donna and Bob Goldfarb are chairing the unique “Luncheon with the Suits,” which invites business leaders and community partners to join the awards ceremony, luncheon and auction portion of the day. Committee members include Barbara Schafer and Greg Etimos.
