Bay Area Golf to Cure Diabetes The festivities will include: · 18 holes at the prestigious Olympic Club Ocean Course · Cocktail reception and silent auction, dinner party, awards and prizes · Premier live auction and presentations by numerous celebrity guests Dedicated to Finding a Cure Every hour, juvenile diabetes strikes somebody. There is currently no cure. Children become insulin-dependent for life and live everyday with the constant threat of devastating complications. Golf to Cure was founded in 2004 by Andrew Grogan. While losing his Mother from complications of diabetes and having an older Brother living with the disease, diabetes hit home and Andrew wanted to help find a cure. Golf To Cure's idea came by implementing what he feels is the greatest game in the world with helping to find a cure for a disease with such devastating complications. The Golf
to Cure Foundation (GTCF) organizes golf events to benefit
diabetes research while partnering with the Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation and the American Diabetes Association.
The JDRF Greater Bay Area Chapter was founded in 1975. Since then, they have become the third most successful fundraising JDRF Chapter in the nation. The Golf to Cure Diabetes Classic is a focal point for the Chapter’s fundraising efforts. The American Diabetes Association is the nation's leading nonprofit health organization providing diabetes research, information and advocacy. Founded in 1940, the American Diabetes Association conducts programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, reaching more than 800 communities.

The
Olympic Club (left), which hosted the U.S. Open in 1955, 1966,
1987, and 1998, offers two regulation eighteen hole courses and
a nine hole par 3 course. These beautiful courses offer
spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and an abundance of
trees make these courses very difficult. The club has hosted the
PGA Tour Championship several times. This club was originally
founded in 1879 and was listed by the USGA as one of the first
100 clubs established in the U.S. In addition, it was recognized
by "GOLF Magazine" in their lists of "The First 100 Clubs in
America," "Top 100 Courses in the U.S.," and "GOLFWEEK's"
category of "America's 100 Best Classical Courses."
