When is it........FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2006

The 6^th annual Lanie Hannah Benefit Scramble (The Lanie) will be held on Friday, September 22, 2006, at Canyon West Golf Course in Weatherford, Texas.  The Lanie  features an 18-hole, 4 man scramble with afternoon shotgun start, contests, awards, kids’ activities, participant meals, raffle drawings, silent and live auctions and entertainment.  Guest meal tickets will be available for purchase at the pavilion.

The Lanie Hannah Benefit Fund is a non-profit corporation that has been organized for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) with primary interest in raising funds for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) research.  SMA is an inherited neuromuscular disease that affects the voluntary muscles. It involves muscle weakness as a result of lack of stimulation of muscles by nerves and is life threatening. SMA affects thousands of people, including Lanie Hannah, and currently there is no cure or treatment.

Thanks to generous support from golfers, donors and sponsors, the previous five tournaments have allowed our organization to donate just under $200,000, all of which has been ear-marked for research.

Many great strides are being made toward curing this disease, and with your support each dollar brings us closer to a cure. Thank you for your time and interest and we hope that you too will become a supporter of SMA research.
