Not only is this a great family outing, but also a wonderful opportunity for local businesses to partner with us as an event sponsor or contributor for our silent auction. Tee Up for Brain Tumors will provide sponsors with marketing, networking, and community engagement opportunities,” said Sam Hunter, President of WINKS.
