More Event Information

Well, it’s that time of year again-time to gear up for the 15th Annual Rod Rogers Memorial golf tourney benefitting the University of Kansas Cancer Center and Cancer Action. We are excited to host this awesome tournament once again at Dub’s Dread Golf Course on Friday, June 2. We do this not only to honor Rod’s memory, a lifetime “Dotte” who lost his battle to pancreatic cancer in 2002, but more importantly to bring attention and raise much-needed funds to fight this deadly disease and one day offer a cure or at least diagnostic testing to give patients a fighting chance.

Once again we will team up with the University of Kansas Medical Cancer Center with the researchers who are dedicated solely to research, trials and treatment of pancreatic cancer, hoping one day to offer a cure. We will also donate a portion of the proceeds to Cancer Action, a local organization who aid cancer patients and their families in meeting their various needs.

I am broken hearted to inform you our beloved “Grammy”, who so willingly supported our efforts every year by serving her famous Frito Pies at the turn, passed away in 2013. Her presence will be deeply missed, but in her honor, we will continue to serve them WITH her special sauce of course! (Yes, she left me the recipe!!)

We are honored once again to have some of the drs/researchers from KU Cancer Center participate and share the latest news of the progress they are making in their fight against pancreatic cancer. We would like to thank our sponsor, Midwest Distributors, Inc. for their continued support and KC Cause, a local non-profit fund raising organization for making this tournament possible.
