SEBRING - With preparations well under way for the 2013 Tanglewood Residents' Cancer Benefit activities, time must be taken to say thanks to all of the local business people who help to make the Cancer Benefit events possible. As the snowbirds flock back to Central Florida, more pressure is put on local businesses to support a variety of worthwhile causes and Tanglewood is honored that so many are willing to back our efforts.
The local newspapers have been wonderful in printing articles. Thanks to the News-Sun, Highlands Today, and the Heartland SunTimes for their ongoing support.
We rely on major sponsors to make certain our events can be successful. Thanks to NewsomEye for sponsoring our kick off concert in November. On Feb. 5, Heartland National Bank will be partnering with us for our Lasagna Dinner for the seventh year. Bill Jarrett Ford will be offering the "Drive for the Cure" on Feb. 6. Golf Fore a Cure at Pinecrest G.C. is being sponsored once again by Alan Jay Automotive Network and Edward Jones/Alan J. Holmes. The finale, on Feb. 19 will be co-sponsored by Drs. Thakkar & Patel, Edward Jones/Alan J. Holmes, Hometown America and NewsomEye.
As well, numerous merchants contribute raffle prizes and the following have already agreed to sponsor holes at our golf tournament: Alligator Pack & Ship, A-Kill Pest Control, Central Florida Roofing, Cool's Automotive, Hayes Automotive, Palms of Sebring.
From all of us at Tanglewood, thanks for helping us to raise funds for cancer research.
