On Monday March 26, 2012, my wife, Jacque, and I will be hosting a golf tournament at the beautiful El Camino Country Club in Oceanside, CA in honor of my daughter Tamra Cantore. This event is dedicated to raising awareness about the “New Faces of Parkinson’s Disease” and raising critical dollars to fund research to understand and cure a disease that touches almost every family in America. 

Since the age of 40 (13 years ago) Tamra has had to endure the daily struggles of coping with the effects of Parkinson’s disease; ultimately, culminating with the end of her career as an executive at The Weather Channel.  If you knew my daughter, you would understand how positive and proactive she is with any challenge in her life.  This challenge was no exception. Tamra dug her heels in and began to promote events that would not only help her, but would also benefit all those who have some form of a neurological disease.  She connected herself with organizations at the national level for her fundraising, which she felt would best serve and support her efforts.   TEAM CANTORE aligned itself with the Parkinson’s Unity Walk and The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research; ensuring that 100% of all net proceeds go toward research.  So far, her fundraising efforts have raised over $550,000 for Parkinson’s research.

As Tamra continued to pursue other fundraising opportunities, she joined forces with the newly formed Wilkins Parkinson’s Foundation. There, the concept was born for the “New Faces of Parkinson’s” media campaign. This campaign includes billboards and PSAs, which will be aired throughout the year as media space is available.  In one PSA, Tamra tells her story of how the disease has affected her life.  I think that once you have visited her website and have viewed her video (click here), you’ll understand why, as her Father, I am extremely proud of her accomplishments and why I am committed to help her in any way possible.  With the encouragement of my wife Jacque, the idea of this golf event was born.

Throughout our family’s life, we have enjoyed many sports and have realized the benefits of staying active. Golf is one of the sports which can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Tamra continues to play tennis and golf on a limited basis, although not as often as she would like.  She will be joining us for this event and will also be playing with us at the tournament.

Kurt Krause, Head Professional, and his staff at El Camino Country Club have put together a terrific event for us.  In honor of my daughter, I humbly request your participation in our first annual “Driving Toward a Cure” golf tournament.  We would not only enjoy your company playing in the event, we encourage you to invite others to join us in a fun day for a worthy cause. 

With heartfelt gratitude for your consideration,

Richard and Jacque Zinn
