AKF Kidney Golf Classic Event Chair, Dick Jacobs says, “What an experience it is working with such a dedicated group of community leaders to put on this event each year. The tournament proceeds help so many patients suffering with kidney disease. We were very excited to add the Master Raffle to the 2009 event. If you ever tried to purchase tickets to the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, you know that tickets are nearly impossible to find. Michael Carreon has got to be thrilled to win this opportunity of a lifetime; to watch all of the current golf champions compete to win the celebrated green jacket.”
