    Many of you remember Brandon Rolen from the auctions held this past spring. Brandon is the son of Sampson & Malune Rolen and he has SMA-1 which is a genetic disease that attacks the voluntary nervous system, leaving the infant paralyzed from the nose down.

    Link to Brandon Rolen Auctions Spring 2007

    Ninety-five percent of all children born with SMA-1 never see their first birthday. Of the five percent that make it to their first birthday, 99.9 percent never reach the age of two.

    The In-Depthangling.com family worked together this past spring to raise some much needed funds for children with SMA-1. Hopefully we can do it again by calling on all of our golf enthusiasts to get involved with the THIRD ANNUAL BRANDON ROLEN FOUNDATION GOLF TOURNAMENT!

    Is this a scramble format?
    Do we get our own teams together?

    I believe it is “Best Ball.” -Scamble-

    You can come as a team of 4, or as an individual, or a couple and be paired up with others to make a 4 member team.

    Patrick Ward – the producer of West Wing and Studio 60, will be there too.

    I think (I will contact him shortly to confirm), the Senator Satveer Chaudhary will be there, he’s Chair of the Natural Resources, so he loves hearing from hunters, fishermen, ATV’ers and lodge owners.

    I don’t think I can get off work in such short notice. I think I could get some team together next year though. Good Luck…….

    Thanks for your efforts guys!

    I know it is short notice here. And I truly understand taking a half day is not easy to ask for. Just hoping you have an understanding boss.

    I will be filming at the event and taking pictures of all the groups and will have them printed out before you go. It is a pretty cool take-away.

    There are also tons and tons of prizes. Anyone that wants to donate prizes is welcome, we ask that you also provide marketing materials as well so we can give them to all the guests. You are welcome to be there and talk about your gifts and annouce the winner and hand them the prize as well.

    If the weather is nice, we are hoping to bring Brandon to the golf club.

    Thanks Brian and all golfers for doing this event! Also for everyone who donated
    SMA-1 sounds so much like what Hooks has, ALS, it is so cruel and children especially shouldn’t have to live like that.
