hosted its second annual Charity Golf Challenge on Saturday, October
21st at the North Fulton Golf Club in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. It
was a classic fall day with 60 golfing enthusiasts and several
volunteers working and playing to benefit Relay for Life and The
American Cancer Society. Through generous golf hole sponsorships and
cash contributions the event raised $31,578 benefiting cancer research.
Last year’s event, hosted by OMFN’s headquarters in Baltimore, set the
bar high in the inaugural outing by raising $18,500 to benefit the
Baltimore Child Abuse Center.

“The event is a tremendous opportunity to contribute to cancer research,
celebrate cancer survivors and remember those who lost the fight against
cancer,” commented John Phelps, OMFN’s Senior Vice President, Life and
Fixed Annuity Distribution and head organizer of the Charity Golf
Challenge. “The ability to come together to benefit Relay for Life and
