Please take a moment to view a short video about Healthy Learners and how they are dedicated to improving the overall health and well-being of economically disadvantaged school children.
The Annual George Younginer Memorial Golf Tournament benefiting Healthy Learners is scheduled for September 12, at Fort Jackson.
The original Healthy Learners golf tournament began in 2000 as the "ProHos/ NPJP Healthy Learners Golf Benefit". A Healthy Learners Advisory Board member, George Younginer, made the golf benefit a reality by forming an ambitious and organized committee and by almost single-handedly planning every detail.
In 2000, the golf benefit raised approximately $13,000 for Healthy Learners and became its signature fund-raising event. Sadly, in 2001, George Younginer, the tournament's founder, passed away. Healthy Learners knew that George would want the tournament to continue, so plans began in early 2002 for the 3rd annual event. It was also decided that the event would be re-named "The George Younginer Memorial Golf Tournament", honoring its founder. That year, the tournament raised much more than the years before - $25,000.
The event continues to grow in size, in popularity, in sponsorships and in revenue. In 2007, the tournament raised $125,000 for Healthy Learners Midlands.
For further information or for information on how to get involved in the 2008 tournament, please call their Development Office at (803) 256-6566.

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today!
The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors and advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. (http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/)
