Curing Cancer Charity Challange

Amazing what happens when a few good people have a vision. Four years ago the Fellows family decided to find a way to make hitting a little white ball into money to help cure cancer. This year 144 registered golfers did just that. But these golfers realized immediately this would be like no other 18 holes of golf they had ever played. Sitting out by the driving range were two Pro Trucks that Fellows Trucking sponsors. Dylan Martin, the 16 year old hot shoe out of Lakeland, is the driver of the black #7 Fellows Trucking Group Curing Cancer Charity Challenge Pro Truck. He was all smiles as he signed hero cards and handed out coloring sheets. He even was asked to sign a young boy’s shirt. Dylan’s PR Manager, Kim Scheffler even had her Pro Truck on display. The Curing Cancer Charity Challenge Fishing Tournament sponsored her in the 8th Annual Joey Coulter Charity 200 Race Weekend back in December. If that wasn’t enough to surprise you then after leaving the 9th hole, the golfers drove by an all pink 18 wheeler. You cannot miss this coming down the road. Fellows Trucking pulled out all the stops to raise as much money and awareness for cancer as they possibly could. "Our Curing Cancer Charity Challenge golf tournament presented by Davenport Fights Back was a huge success this year," said tournament co-coordinator Donna Fellows. "Dylan Martin Racing was our top sponsor this year, and we can't thank them enough for their support. They also brought out the No. 7 Fellows Trucking Group Curing Cancer Charity Challenge truck, which races in the Joey Coulter Florida Pro-Truck Series, out to put on display between the putting green and driving range, which was a huge hit with our participants as well. Thanks to the help of our participants and wonderful sponsors like Dylan Martin Racing, we were able to donate $19,000 to the American Cancer Society for this past weekend's efforts. Every dollar we can raise is a dollar closer to a cure, and this weekend, we enabled researchers to take 19,000 more steps in that direction." "Cancer has hit our family hard, and fighting back against the disease is a cause very close to our hearts," said tournament co-coordinator Kristina Drexler. "With our fourth annual charity golf tournament now in the books, we're shifting gears to our second annual Curing Cancer Charity Cast-Off fishing tournament, which will be held at Camp Mack River Resort in Lake Wales on Feb. 21, 2015. We'd like to encourage anybody who wants to know more about our events to visit our website, www.davenportfightsback.com and find out how you can help us fight back against cancer one dollar at a time!" There is a cure right around the corner because of people and events like this. (Photos & Press Release Credit – Kim Scheffler) https://www.DavenportFightsBack.com
