Friends rally golf community together to raise funds to honor loved ones

“Kevin and I know the funds we raise through Jimmy Fund Golf make an impact in cancer research and patient care. It’s important for us to give back and also honor the memory of my father Mike, Kevin’s wife Nicole, and all those we’ve lost to cancer,” says Tim Patterson, co-director of the Mike Patterson Invitational – in memory of Nicole Heck.

Tim and his friend Kevin have organized the Mike Patterson Invitational – in memory of Nicole Heck tournament for more than 10 years. Their incredible support of Jimmy Fund Golf presented by Mohegan Sun helps raise money for cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute—care that is making a difference each day for all those impacted by cancer.
