Gifts of Hope assists cancer patients in need, the cancer patient who has limited financial resources. Typical patients that we help may live in Midland or Odessa, but many live in a small community in the Permian Basin and drive into Midland to be treated at the Allison Cancer Center or the West Texas Cancer Center. Many patients drive hundreds of miles for treatment. A person diagnosed with cancer undergoes uncertainty and fear. To some of these patients, coming to cities the size of Midland and Odessa can be intimidating as they arrive not knowing anyone, not able to afford a place to stay and dealing with the unknowns of the disease. This situation is overwhelming and they need support both financially and spiritually to complete their treatment process. Gifts of Hope’s purpose is to meet those needs. 

This year’s tournament will be held Saturday, August 16, 2014, at Hogan Park Golf Course, with a morning flight beginning at 8:00 a.m.
