The Lymphoma Research Foundation To Host The Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational On May 5

A swing for the promise! Every five minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with lymphoma, and more than one million people in the country are living with, or in remission from, lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).  The community was invited to join the Lymphoma Research Foundation for the Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational on May 5 as it took a swing toward fulfilling its mission to realize the promise of science to eradicate lymphoma and serve the community touched by this disease. Supporters put their golf skills to the test at the iconic La Gorce Country Club, one of the most exclusive private golf clubs in the United States, designed by Jack Nicklaus, while being a catalyst in finding cures. This exclusive tournament highlights the strong donor base and offers a unique, intimate experience for its 72 participants.  Co-chaired by Leigh and Cory Olson, the Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational honored Walter J. Andrews, partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth, LLP, with the Foundation’s Advocate Award. Recognized as a leader for insurance dispute resolution by Chambers USA and recommended for his advice to policyholders by Legal 500, Andrews focuses his practice on complex insurance recovery, counseling, arbitrations, litigation and expert witness testimony. Proceeds will support The Lymphoma Research Foundation’s partners who save lives every day by powering break-throughs in research that cure blood cancers and directly supporting cancer patients in need. Lymphoma is the most common blood cancer in adults and the third most common cancer overall among children. The Lymphoma Research Foundation is the nation’s largest nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to funding lymphoma research and supporting the lymphoma community through evidence-based education, support services and resources. The 2025 Benefit Committee is Walter J. Andrews, Laurie and Steve Davis, Barbara  Freundlich, Christopher Gorelik, Patricia Kaine, Leah and John Leonard, MD, Ann Singer, and Sonya Verny.  The Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational Presenting Sponsor was Leigh and Cory Olson.
