12th
Annual Mike Cavish Golf Tournament to Aid Strelitz
Diabetes Ctr.
The 12th Annual Mike Cavish Gof Tournament and
Dinner will be held April 26 at the Elizabeth
Manor Golf and Country Club in Portsmouth.
The annual event supports the EVMS Strelitz
Diabetes Center at Eastern Virginia Medical
School.
During his lifetime, Ghent restaurateur and
Fellini’s founder Mike Cavish and his family
became personally
committed to the fight against diabetes.
The battle isn’t an easy one.
Diabetes affects one in seven Americans. Whether
it’s the 17.9 million already diagnosed,
the 5.7 million who unknowingly have it or the
57 million pre-diabetics who could soon develop
it, diabetes is claiming our friends, neighbors,
families and children.
Leading the way in Hampton Roads, Eastern Virginia
Medical School’s Strelitz Diabetes Center
has been a steadfast source of hope and healing,
and continues to expand its research, programs
and its patient care.
EVMS couldn’t make these strides without
The Mike Cavish Golf Tournament & Dinner,
an event which has raised more than $250,000
for the Center.
Sponsors are now being sought. Help celebrate
the memory of Mike Cavish, make a positive impact
on those affected by diabetes and become part
of the fun on Monday, April 26, 2010.
The Awards Ceremony and Dinner will be held
immediately following the tournament at Fellini’s,
located at 3910 Colley Avenue in Norfolk.
