We expect this year to be the greatest year ever for offering opportunities for charity and the chance to partner for a day with one of the world's greatest players.  While still so early in the year, we have an amazing line up of superstars on tap for the 2011 season.

Major Champions Ernie Els, Angel Cabrera and many more will be participating with Caddy For A Cure in a quest to help many charities like the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Birdies for the Brave, Els for Autism, and many more. What an incredible gift idea or customer gift that will be forever remembered as the day of a golf lifetime?

Justin Barbier was blessed to have an uneventful childhood. He was always small for his age but played soccor, baseball and enjoyed hunting with his dad and grandfather. He has always had an outgoing attitude and been a joy to his family. During high school Justin broke his ankle while riding Dirt bikes with friends. During pre op testing, we found out his platelet count was low, 29,000. Justin was diagnoised with Fanconi Anemia. A genetic disorder that would eventually cause Bone Marrow Failure and Leukemia. It also predisposes him to certain cancers that will be addressed later as they/or if they occur.  

We were blessed to have time on our side as 6 years passed before Justin's bone marrow began to show pre-leukemia changes. After much research and praying we chose University of Minnesota Medical Center/Fairview as our transplant hospital. Dr. Wagner is a world reknown FA specialist who has led us on this journey for the last six years and who is leading our BMT team.   

Justin was blessed again and had a perfect 8 of 8 matched donor found on the bone marrow registry. All systems are go and they were headed up to Minnesota on July 7, 2007. It is now more than two years later and Justin is in fact doing well. He has recovered from his marrow transplant and is living a relatively normal life. It is extremely encouraging to see FA patients living healthfully well into their 40's through advances in FA Research, and through your willingness to "caddy for a cure!"

Since its inception within the PGA TOUR, Birdies for the Brave has grown to include

a variety of military outreach efforts, including Patriots' Outpost military hospitality chalets and military celebrations held during tournaments; letter-writing campaigns for the troops; distribution of care packages to troops stationed abroad; awarding an honorary membership at each TPC to the Wounded Warrior Project for the benefit of a local wounded warrior; and a series of fundraising events conducted at the TOUR's TPC Network of clubs nationwide and partner properties. This enables fans, club members, sponsors and the public the opportunity to participate in charity golf tournaments and other activities that directly benefit military men and women and their families, while at the same time play the same sensational golf courses where the world's best golfers compete.
