On August 3, 2009, the McBride Foundation will
host the Bill Teegins Golf Championship presented
by McBride Clinic and McBride Orthopedic Hospital
at the prestigious Oklahoma City Golf & Country
Club. This is the tournament you won’t want
to miss. In addition to the tournament, you will
also want to attend a fabulous auction party the
night before the tournament. We invite you to
partner with us by being a sponsor.
During this tournament we remember the life
of Bill Teegins who was the number one Oklahoma
sportscaster of the year for eight straight
years. Bill was interested in fighting arthritis
because of the prevalence of the disease in
his family. His wife Janis and daughter Amanda
continue the tradition he began by serving on
the planning committee of this great event.
As you know Bill lost his life tragically in
a plane crash January 27, 2001, along with other
members of the OSU family coming home from a
basketball game. This tournament helps us keep
his memory alive.
The McBride Foundation is devoted to the promotion
of education, treatment and research to benefit
the musculoskeletal health of Oklahomans. One
in seven Americans or 36.4 million people have
a musculoskeletal impairment that limits or
decreases their ability to function at home,
work or play. These conditions do not get the
attention that some more well know conditions
get.
The goal of the McBride Foundation is to fund
research and public education to those dealing
with arthritis. These programs include a scholarship
program for those seeking a medical career,
educational programs for healthcare providers
and research into treatment-related projects.
This tournament is the only fund raising event
held by the McBride Foundation and assists us
in our fight against America’s number
one crippling disease.
We look forward to hearing from you soon. This
tournament will sell out, so mail your reservation
card in today.
