Dragon Master Partners with the Nancy Valenkamph Cancer Foundation

Mike Guevara • October 9, 2024

The Dragon Master Initiative (DMI) would like to again extend a warm thank you to the Nancy Valenkamph Cancer Foundation (NVCF) for giving DMI an opportunity to raise funds on Hole 15 at the beautiful Sandy Pines Golf Course in Demotte, IN at their Spring and Fall Outings.


The Foundation has allowed us to partner with them for several years and it is a fun, well attended and highly effective fundraising event.


Golfers had the option to donate and better their position on the longest hole at the Sandy Pines Golf Course.


DMI Board Member Mike Guevara, who lives near Demotte, IN, helped coordinate the effort with NVCF volunteers for an afternoon of great weather, awesome fundraising and on occasion some really bad golf!


Golfers who donated were asked to pose with a Team Fired Up race medal to help promote awareness! We are definitely looking forward to next years golf outing.
