Brain Tumor Foundation for Children

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who sponsored the 2010 J. Smith Lanier & Co. Charity Classic. Although brain cancer in children is one of the most difficult cancers to treat, because it is relatively rare when compared to other cancers, it has received little attention and funding on a national level. Children and families who are affected will continue to require all the support the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children can give them – in the form of direct financial assistance; books and other informational materials; networking opportunities for parents; hands-on social and emotional support; cards and welcome packages for new families; and much more. For 2010, in the midst of our difficult economic climate, it is our goal to continue our same level of support for these families who need us more than ever and you are making it possible for us to do that. Thank you for your support of the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children and the children we serve.” – BTFC and J. Smith Lanier & Co.

The following is a special message of thanks from the parents of Evan Carswell:

Dear Sponsors, Golfers and Volunteers,

It was a pleasure to meet and speak with many of you at the recent “J. Smith Lanier & Co. Charity Classic” events. We were so pleased to have our son Evan recognized by a team in his name. Having three delightful young brain tumor survivors - Faith (with whom Evan shared some special times during his illness), Brian and Tyler - play on “Evan’s Team” was a perfect tribute to his memory.
