Golfers Invited to Participate in the Hit 'Em for Hemophila Tournament to Raise Funds to Cure Bleeding Disorders
Golfers are invited to participate in the 31st annualHit ’Em for Hemophilia Golf Tournament on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at the Manor Golf and Country Club and Alpharetta Athletic Club in Alpharetta, Georgia. Sponsored by Hemophilia of Georgia in partnership with the Atlanta Braves, the tournament supports critical research directed toward finding a cure for hemophilia, a hereditary blood clotting disorder that requires very expensive, life-long medical treatment.
Since 1982 the annual Hit ’Em for Hemophilia Golf Tournament has raised more than $12 million for research for a cure for inherited bleeding disorders. With clinical trials of gene therapy, we are closer than we have ever been to a cure for hemophilia. This research phase is the most expensive, so your support now is vital.
