The 7th annual "Tee off Fore a Cure weekend was a huge success for cancer patients at Children’s of Alabama. The events raised $60,000. It all kicked off with a pre-party filled with live music, patient testimonials by the Hirs family and Katie Hamlin, food and a wonderful silent auction that featured artwork from Children’s patients and the Exceptional Foundation. The next morning was too chilly for most runners and walkers, but a few souls braved the elements for Gracie’s Run 5K. Finally, more than 110 golfers teed off for the tournament.

Dr. Watts, Dr. Berkow and Dr. Whelan—all of Frances Grace’s doctors—came down for this special event because Frances Grace has beaten leukemia twice.

"I want to help other kids like me," Frances said at the event.
