Diabetes Golf Tourney Set for Aug. 7 at Pine Lakes; Ankle & Foot Care Centers Sponsors 4-Man Scramble

HUBBARD, Ohio (July 17, 2009) – Ankle & Foot Care Centers, operators of 20 local foot care offices, today announced plans for the 11th Annual American Diabetes Association Golf Benefit, a four-person scramble event set for Friday, Aug. 14, at Pine Lakes Golf Course in Hubbard.

The tournament raises money for diabetes research, through Ankle & Foot Care Centers and the Tri-County Chapter of the American Diabetes Association.

A shotgun start is scheduled for 11:30 a.m., following sign-in at 10:30. The $80 fee per golfer includes 18 holes of golf, cart, lunch, beverages on the course, dinner at the pavilion and awards.

Registration deadline is Friday, Aug. 7. Golfers can register by calling Michael Vallas at Ankle & Foot Care Centers, 330-629-8800.

Diabetes is a devastating disease that affects the lives of millions of Americans. The ADA’s goal is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by the disease.

Ankle & Foot Care Centers has been a strong supporter of the ADA’s Tri-County Chapter for many years, providing financial support while organizing support groups for diabetes patients and their families and helping to raise awareness of diabetes, especially as it affects the feet.

The event, organized by Dr. Michelle Anania, has been sponsored by Ankle & Foot Care Centers since 1999, and last year raised over $13,000 for the local ADA chapter.
