Why we golf...

The 1st annual James Pelkey Heart Strong Golf Tournament is a celebration of healthy and happy hearts in memory of James Pelkey. On September 2, 2010 James (Jim) Pelkey passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack triggered by underlying heart disease, a hereditary condition no one knew he had. He was 53 years old and was training to run a half marathon that November.

According to the American Heart Association, more than 82 million American adults are estimated to have one or more types of cardiovascular disease, that’s one in three people.

We ask that you consider supporting our efforts by participating as a golfer, sponsor or by making a donation. All proceeds from the event will benefit the local American Heart Association and the invaluable work they do.

Thank you for your support!
