Beneficiary

The 4th Annual Autumn Classic has joined forces with its new beneficiary, CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation to help support their efforts to find a cure for childhood cancer. Several events have been planned throughout the weekend to raise funds for the important research that is being done to support children battling cancer including a Silent Auction with and an opportunity to wager on teams competing in the $2000 Der•Dau Pro-Am Team Jumper on Friday evening, September 26th. Special exclusive VIP Corporate Sponsorships are also available to benefit this worthy cause.

CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation (NCCF) is a nonprofit organization that supports the work of the Children's Oncology Group (COG), the world's premier pediatric cancer research collaborative funded in part by the National Cancer Institute. The COG includes more than 5,000 physicians, scientists, nurses and research staff who are located at more than 200 leading children's hospitals, university hospitals, and cancer centers in North America.

The COG represents every recognized pediatric cancer program in North America where more than 90% of children with cancer are treated. Historically, the research efforts of the COG have been nearly singularly responsible for the very dramatic improvements in cure rates for children with cancer. However, cancer remains the leading cause of death from disease in children; despite the tremendous progress, much work remains to be done.
