“The work of the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation is close to our hearts,” said Tim Cromwell, Tournament Chairman of the R.D. Olson Construction Charity Golf Tournament. “This foundation works exceedingly hard to bring in funds for research to help children with cancer. It’s R.D. Olson Construction’s humble way of showing its appreciation.”

 

More than 80 percent of the proceeds go directly toward the fight against childhood cancers.

 

“Childhood cancers is the number one cause of non-accidental death in children,” said Cromwell. “Without funding, cures will not be found. It’s up to people and companies like us to do what we can.”

 

The day is expected to brim with activity, beginning with a catered lunch prior to the 12 p.m. shotgun start. The event will culminate with an after-tournament networking reception and silent action.

 

The R.D. Olson Construction Charity Golf Tournament’s gold sponsors are Marriott International, the worlds leading hotelier; A.J. Kirkwood & Associates, Inc., a four-generation electrical contracting firm; and Empire Building Services, one of the finest commercial service contractors in seven Southern California counties.
