Golf Tournament with Unique Format on May 22nd Benefits Dragonfly Forest
Proceeds will help send seriously ill children to overnight camp for free

April 27, 2006 – Philadelphia, PA – Dragonfly Forest, a not-for-profit organization that provides seriously ill children with the opportunity to attend free overnight camp, is pleased to announce its second annual Dragonfly Golf Tournament. The Dragonfly Cup 2006 on Monday, May 22nd will be played at Concord Country Club (Route 202 just north of US 1) in Concordville, Pennsylvania.

The Dragonfly Cup 2006, which begins at 11:00 a.m. with registration and lunch, is one of the Delaware Valley’s most unique and dramatic golf experiences because of the “Triple Play Team Championship Format.” Teams of four will compete in a different format every six holes. The best four teams will advance to a Championship Playoff. The triple play formats include Best Two Balls of Four, Two-Person Scramble and Best 3 of 4 – Individual Aggregate. There is also an opportunity to participate in Turbo Skills™, an exciting contest featuring a $100,000 putting contest and a $1,000,000 Shootout, where at least two players are guaranteed an opportunity for Turbo Bucks. Sponsorship opportunities begin at $2500. Designed for the true golf enthusiast this is a MUST-PLAY Monday!

Dragonfly Golf supports Dragonfly Forest, a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization, committed to offering seriously ill children the opportunity to enjoy a free overnight camp experience in an environment that is designed to meet their physical and medical needs. At Dragonfly Forest between morning swims and evening campfires, children become actors on stage, swimmers, artists, athletes, canoe paddlers, stargazers and, most importantly, friends. Nestled among hundreds of rolling acres in rural, pristine, Montgomery County, this unique location provides excitement and adventure for campers in the great outdoors. Between early morning crafts and evening carnivals, children whose lives have been a series of medical procedures and hospital stays are transformed into just "kids" having fun. Being with others coping with similar illnesses or conditions helps them realize that they are not alone. Since Dragonfly Forest is free of any charge to children and their families, the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations provides the financial resources to send children to camp ($2,500 per camper).

One of the many ways that Dragonfly Forest raises this money is through collaboration with Dunleavy and Associates. This regional consulting firm works with charitable organizations to help them achieve their missions – often through innovative Signature Events. Dunleavy & Associates’ golf events stand out as different because of their PGA Project Manager’s combination of golf knowledge and special event planning experience.

You can help make a difference in the life of a seriously ill child by participating as a player or sponsor in Dragonfly Cup 2006, making a donation, or becoming a volunteer. To learn more about Dragonfly Forest or to register for Dragonfly Cup 2006, please visit www.dragonflyforest.org.
