23rd Annual Charley Roach Golf Invitational to benefit Epilepsy Foundation Eastern PA

August 30, 2011 By

The Epilepsy Foundation Eastern Pennsylvania (EFEPA) is hitting the links in support of the 109,000 people living with epilepsy/seizure disorders.

On September 13th, join over 100 golfers at the 23rd Annual Charley Roach Golf Invitational at RiverCrest Golf Club and Preserve in Phoenixville, PA. The event, sponsored by the Charley and Peggy Roach Charities, is held in memory of the EFEPA’s founder, Charley Roach, who realized that the area was severely lacking in resources for people with epilepsy. It was with Mr. Roach’s vision the EFEPA was established in 1972 and now serves 18 counties in Pennsylvania. Mr. Roach was an avid golfer and the invitational is a great way to keep his memory and commitment to service alive.

The golf day begins at 11:00am with a barbeque lunch and followed by 18-holes of golf in a shamble format. After a day on the course, golfers are invited to a cocktail reception, dinner and silent auction. Raffle prizes and golf competitions will be offered throughout the day. Prizes include two round-trip tickets on Southwest.

“We are gearing up for another fun day on the golf course, but we also are remembering the main mission of the invitational, raising awareness of those living with epilepsy,” said Event Chairman, Tim Roach.

Money raised from the tournament will directly support the EFEPA. Through the contributions, the EFEPA will be able to continue its programs and services to people with epilepsy in eastern Pennsylvania. Some of these programs and services include: sending a child with a seizure disorder to Camp Achieve for a week, helping an adult receive support and advocacy for health or employment assistance, or providing a newly diagnosed individual with a network of resources to assist them with the challenges that epilepsy offers every day.

Golf and sponsorship opportunities are still available.
