TIED TO A CURE GOLF TOURNAMENT

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR THE TIED TO A CURE LAS VEGAS GOLF FLYAWAY

Our 2022 Tied to a Cure Golf Flyaway presented by McDonald Automotive, was a wonderful success! Over 100 golfers joined us in beautiful Las Vegas on Thursday, October 20th for an all-inclusive round of golf at the prestigious Shadow Creek Golf Course followed by a stay at the luxurious Aria Hotel.

The event began in the early hours of Thursday morning with poker games, an open bar, a high-end liquor pull, a silent auction and breakfast generously donated by the Epicurean Group. Michael McDonald, President of McDonald Automotive and event co-chair, kicked-off the occasion by sharing his personal experience of losing a loved one to type 1 diabetes. Players were able to hear from Barbara Davis Center patient, Keaton Isakson, about the struggles and the bright sides of living with T1D. Players were also able to participate in a spectacular live auction on the plane on the way to the golf course.

With the help of all who attended, sponsored, and supported this tournament, we were able to raise over $300,000 for CDF to support diabetes research, patient support, and awareness of type 1. This was a recordbreaking amount for this event! A tremendous thank you to our Eagle Sponsors Lockton Companies, W.E. O’Neil Construction Company of Colorado and Urban Frontier; to our Birdie Sponsor Wakefield Asset Management, and to all those who supported us to make this tournament unforgettable. We are so grateful to our live and silent auction donors Inspirato, David Fleck, Joe Smolen & Webb Simpson, Dan Fuller, McDonald Automotive and Shadow Creek Golf Course. We extend a heartfelt thank you to Keaton Isakson, and his amazing parents Mark and Sarah as well as to our feature Pro Long Driver Dan “Smackintosh” McIntosh. Lastly, a special thank you Michael McDonald, Dan Fuller, Joe Smolen, and Todd Schieck for chairing this event year after year and making it the enormous success it is.
