In connection with the 3rd Annual AZWA Golf Tournament we are very pleased to be able to benefit Students Supporting Brain Tumor Research (SSBTR).
SSBTR was founded in 2002 shortly after three students from the Paradise Valley School District died from brain tumors. When research pointed out that, other than leukemia, this particular disease was the number one cancer killer of teenagers, a decision was made to do something about it.
The organization was the brainchild of Steve Glassman, then Student Council Advisor at Pinnacle High School. Working with a small group of student volunteers, Mr. Glassman organized the first Walkathon in 2002. Four schools participated, 250 walkers were involved and $7,500 was raised for research.
