The 1st annual Touched By Cancer Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament was held at Staley Farms Golf Club in June of 2002 to thank the sponsors and kick-off the events for 2002. Many celebrities from Kansas City accompanied each foursome of players in a scramble tournament. Superior Lexus proudly donated a car for the lucky person who could shoot a hole in one and Greg Gurley, a former Kansas University basketball star, scored that on hole number 3.

Opening remarks were made by KMBC 9 news anchor Lara Moritz and former Kansas City Chief Bill Maas. Lunch was provided before the tournament by Scimeca’s Italian Deli and a dinner party was held at the Big Chill Restaurant. The tournament was a big success and a great way to kick off the events for the foundation.
