DeLaveaga
Golf Course
We
at the Pink Flamingo are pleased to announce the return to
our original tournament home, DeLaveaga Golf Course. Here we will
continue the Pink Flamingo’s tradition with the spirit of
competition, fun, and charity. Please join us again and enjoy a day of
golf, lunch, refreshments, a banquet dinner, silent auction, tee prizes and
awards!
Who
Are We?
The
Spinal Cord Society (SCS) is a volunteer organization dedicated to developing a
treatment to cure paralysis. 200 Chapters and a monthly newsletter link
thousands of members across 24 countries. All research is funded by
private donations.
What
is the State of Research?
Recent
SCS research involved human trials, which have resulted in partial sensory and
motor function recovery. SCS is working hard to improve on those
results. New and even more effective approaches are now underway with
additional human trials in progress.
Santa
Cruz Chapter SCS Contribution
To
date, the Leimbach Santa Cruz Chapter of the SCS has raised over $200,000 -
primarily from our annual golf tournament charity event, The Pink
Flamingo. Our continued mission is to increase awareness of both the need
and opportunity to develop a treatment to cure paralysis. Each advancement in
medical technology brings us closer to developing a cure. And with your
help and generosity, we'll be able to take yet another step toward making this
vision a reality. We look forward to a fun and memorable day for everyone
involved in this year's Pink Flamingo at DeLaveaga.
Pink Flamingo Tournament Format
The
traditional Scramble: (where a foursome plays from the best positioned
ball on each shot) is again offered for those who enjoy a casual round of golf
with friends for a great cause.
