Calling for Submissions to Apply for the “John McLean Hero Award” 2012
Our organization has created the “John McLean Hero Award,” In honor of our dear friend and long-time supporter of our cause. John lost his battle with cancer earlier this year and is survived by his four children who were the light of his life. John’s Faith, dedication to family and generous spirit was a gift to all who knew him. Our annual “Chipping Away at Childhood Cancer” Memorial Golf Tournament® was grateful to have John as a dedicated sponsor.
To honor John’s life, we have created an award which celebrates the Heroism John lived through his compassion for children & adolescents battling childhood cancer.
