6th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

A quick history about Tee Off For Dogs
In 1980 Frank Frand was diagnosed
with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which
is a rare inherited disease in which the
light-sensitive retina of the eye slowly
and progressively degenerates. As the
disease progresses, peripheral vision is
gradually lost; eventually blindness results.
In 2001 Frank was given an opportunity to regain his lost freedom as his RP
progressed and proudly received his
first Guide Dog partner, Jacklyn a gold
labrador
retriever
mix.
With
Jacklyn at his left side, Frank
regained
his
confidence,
began
pursuing
sporting
activities
and
golf became a curiosity. With his
golf game improving and having
played in a tournament, Frank with
several Guide Dog Puppy Raisers
hosted the first Tee Off For Dogs in 2005. 6th Annual Charity

6th Annual Tee Off For Dogs
Is my microphone on? Can you hear me? I have
something important to say... “Thank you!”
To everyone who supports Tee Off For Dogs THANK YOU for everything you do! Your
continued support of Tee Off For Dogs is
allowing us to further our mission of improving
the lives of the visually impaired by supporting
programs for Guide Dogs and medical research.
As a visually impaired person, the gift of a Guide
Dog partner has value I can not put into a
number. As a recipient of two Guide Dogs, I can truly tell you my life
has improved vastly. I have the confidence and ability to get to work and
enjoy many activities withe the assistance of Cardinal, my Guide Dog.
I can’t believe that we have been so fortunate to have so many friends and
corporate sponsors supporting us from the beginning. Yes, that is right -six years of me asking for your kind generous support of prizes, monetary
donations and your time!
