Finding Better Ways to Treat Cancer.

Fighting Cancer, Playing Golf

WELCOME TO THE ADELE R. DECOF FOUNDATION, a 501(c)(3) created to improve cancer care and treatment.  And how do we do this?  By putting our passion for golf to work! 

 

FOUNDER LEONARD DECOF created the Foundation to honor his wife Adele, who battled breast cancer with grace and a mission to help others.  As Foundation chairman, Leonard now hosts the annual ADELE DECOF INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT, a pro-am event featuring major PGA Tour stars playing with amateurs at outstanding golf clubs around Rhode Island. 

 

BUT WE DON'T JUST DO GOLF!  We also host galas, luncheons, fashion shows and auctions.  Proceeds from all these events support the work of local cancer programs, helping to provide advanced care and treatment designed specifically for each patient.  In this way we aim to improve the patient's experience and outcome.

 

 

Take a Swing Against Cancer
Want to take a clinic or play golf with PGA Tour Pros ADAM SCOTT or GEOFF OGILVY?  They both played in the 2009 DECOF INVITATIONAL. 

 

JUSTIN ROSE, BO VAN PELT, RYUJI IMADA, WOODY AUSTIN and many others have also played with us. 

 

THE 2010 EVENT will be just as exciting.  Check the TOURNAMENT page to sign up!
