On Monday we hosted the Second Annual UW Neuro-Oncology: Teeing Off Against Brain Tumors Golf Tournament. We caught the perfect window between rain showers to get in 18 holes of golf and we raised over $130,000 to support brain cancer research at the University of Wisconsin! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored, donated and attended the event and made it so special! 💚
