12th Annual Golf Classic

Monday, April 4, 2022

Israel Cancer Association’s (USA) 12th Annual Golf Classic took place on Monday, April 4, 2022, at the exclusive St. Andrews Country Club, in Boca Raton. ICA USA had over 120 players, who gathered for this tournament which included lunch, silent auction, and awards dinner.  The event drew many from St.  Andrews Country Club and around Palm Beach County as well as from many places like New York City and Washington D.C. Those that did not play golf came for cocktails and dinner and the awards ceremony.

The Chairmen heading up this event were St. Andrews resident, Dr. Steve Melman and his wife Phyllis, Nancy and Peter Brown of Palm Beach, and Ross Berman of Boca Raton. Many residents sponsored the event or played in the tournament.  A good time was had by all.

Paul Clivio, head of golf at St. Andrews said, “We welcomed this wonderful organization for their first year. Their tournament was fun, well organized, and for a great cause. We loved having Israel Cancer Association USA here at the club and look forward to having them here for many years to come”.

This wonderful day and evening helped raise over $500,000!! The energy and dedication of the friends of Israel Cancer Association USA have financially benefitted brilliant cancer scientists working on specific cancer discovery research projects in Israel. Over eighteen fellowship grants were funded making possible renowned landmark research, treatments, and cures at a fraction of the research cost necessary in other countries, including the United States. See St. Andrew’s July Newsletter review of the event here.

Israel Cancer Association USA remains as committed and dedicated to raising money and growing awareness about the nonprofit’s mission to fund and drive landmark scientific cancer research in Israel.
