The Mahalak Auto Group will host their '18 Aces to Conquer Cancer' 10th annual golf outing to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research and patient aid. The event will take place on FLAG Day, Wednesday, June 14th at Monroe Golf and Country Club in Monroe, Michigan. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
The event offers a chance to win a Jeep lease for every hole-in-one made. The course will be set up so that every hole is a par three and play will be four-person best ball scramble. There will be $31 million dollars' worth of vehicles to give away! "The goal of 18 Aces to Conquer Cancer is to raise funds for pancreatic cancer, but also to have a fun time doing it!" said Ralph Mahalak Jr., co-owner of the Mahalak Auto Group. "This year we will be honoring five members of the community that have recently passed- Glenda Kennon, Jeff Tuttle, Frank Messina, Bud Johnson, and Eric Maxwell. We are currently looking for interested sponsors, golfers, speakers, and volunteers." The event registration will include a Tim Horton breakfast at 8:45am and a shotgun start at 10:14 am. After the round of golf concludes, there will be an Awards Lunch with live and silent auctions. "We are trying to raise funds for research and awareness of pancreatic cancer," said Ralph. "It is rarely detected in its early stages, so it is one of the leading causes of cancer death." Signs and symptoms may not appear until pancreatic cancer is quite advanced and surgical removal is not possible. 18 Aces to Conquer Cancer aims to spread awareness of pancreatic cancer, while donating proceeds to research and patient aid. The annual event has raised over $100,000 for pancreatic cancer research and other related programs. Each year, the event is rotated between venues to be close to one of the seven Low Payment King Mahalak Auto group dealerships- Winter Haven Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, Lake Wales Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, Posner Park Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT, Winter Haven Alfa Romeo FIAT, Buckeye Jeep Superstore, LPK Jeep of Defiance & Monroe Dodge Superstore.
