The Jack Dwyer Golf Tournament is held in the memory of Katherine A. Dwyer who succumbed to lung cancer on December 26, 2000. She was Jack’s wife of 42 years, mother of 7 children, and grandmother of 13. This is a very special event for the entire Dwyer Family—with hopes to honor Kathy for all the love and life she shared with them. The tournament is always held on the Monday that follows Cancer Hope & Remembrance Observance Weekend, with hopes to inspire other families to hold similar events in honor of a loved one affected by cancer.

Started in 2002, this annual event has raised over $150,000 for the Georgia Cancer Foundation. Plans are already underway to make the Seventh Annual event a huge success.

“The Georgia Cancer Foundation deeply appreciates the hard work of the entire Dwyer family, the sponsors, teams, and silent auction donors and participants who make the Jack Dwyer Golf Tournament bigger and better each year. This event has become one of our major fundraisers and is responsible for raising over $100,000 since 2002 to support our mission. We can't thank you enough!”
