More Event Information

The 2nd Annual Love Like Carlos Golf Tournament and Wine/Tasting will be held this Fall at Harbor PinesGolf Club to celebrate the life and legacy of Carlos E. Diaz, a 2004 Holy Spirit High School and 2008 St. Peter’s College alumnus who lived his life with passion, courage, strength of character, and faith. 

After being diagnosed with a very aggressive form of germ cell cancer, Carlos underwent a grueling year of several types of chemotherapy and radiation. Despite the arduous efforts of his doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and his great desire to live, Carlos passed into eternal life on October 3, 2015, five days shy of his 29th birthday. Even during his last days with us Carlos made sure that everyone involved with his care, doctors and family members, knew how much he appreciated what had been done for him. He encouraged his team of doctors to continue their work in helping others beat cancer.

Carlos’ attitude of gratitude and his amazing love for others is the driving force behind the Love Like Carlos Memorial Fund. The mission of the fund is to support organizations that strive to make the lives of patients afflicted with cancer and their families less stressful by supporting their financial needs and to help charities that provide aid to the disadvantaged and marginalized. In addition, each year the LLCMF will award a student athlete with a scholarship to attend Carlos’ alma maters, Saint Joseph Regional School and Holy Spirit High School.

Golfers will enjoy breakfast and dinner, while non-golfers will participate in wine/beer tasting and dinner. All present will enjoy an afternoon of live music and partake in the many opportunities to win prizes and auction items. Be sure to purchase your tickets early as last year’s event was sold out!!
