You are invited to join us
for the
Silent Auction and Dessert Party
and the
Classic Golf Tournament
June 26 and 27, 2008

Within our own community, almost everyone knows someone with cancer, and many of those have turned to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center for help. In an effort to support the Center in its ability to provide the most current medical technology and disease management, we are holding a two-day Eastman Benefit for NCCC in June of 2008 . . .and we are asking for your support.

For the past 25 years, Eastman has supported the NCCC by hosting a golf tournament. Funds raised during this event have provided Norris Cotton with unrestricted monies that would be otherwise mandated or regulated by some other agency for very specific research. This means that Norris Cotton can allocate this money for research and programs that they feel benefit our community and our community’s health issues the most.

There are four great ways to participate in this benefit. You can attend the Auction, play in the Tournament, be a golf tee or cart sponsor, and advertise in the Auction/Tournament Handbook.

On Thursday evening, June 26, guests will gather in the Draper Room at The Center at Eastman for the Silent Auction. They will be served scrumptious desserts and beverages while they bid on art and craft items, merchandise, and services provided by area artists and businesses. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to NCCC. Admission is $15 per person, which includes one complimentary beverage (beer, wine, or soda) and Bistro Nouveau’s famous desserts. Reservations are required—please RSVP by making your check out to ECA-DHMC and mailing it to ECA-NCCC, PO Box 53, Grantham, NH 03753. Please include your name and phone number on the check.

On Friday morning, June 27, teams of amateur golfers will play in the Classic Golf Tournament, teeing off in a shotgun, best-ball format. A grilled lunch will be served at the turn. After the round, players will get together for the awarding of prizes and a cocktail party, with plenty of time to socialize with friends and teammates. Eastman Golf Links has spent over $1 million to refurbish the course—you will be delighted with its beautiful condition. Tournament fee is $125 per person, which includes greens fee, golf cart, lunch, after-golf party, and a player’s gift bag. A team registration form is linked below.

Registration: beginning at 8:30 a.m.; tee-off at 10 a.m.; after-golf party from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.

In addition to participating in the events, individuals can sponsor a tee or cart, which will be used during the tournament. A sign in your name will be placed at a tee box or on a golf cart in appreciation, and all donors and sponsors will be listed in the Auction/Tournament Handbook. Please use the linked sponsor form below.

The Auction/Tournament Handbook provides businesses and individuals an opportunity to reach everyone who participates in the event. Auction items, donor, and sponsor names will be listed. Black-and-white ads are available in full-page and half-page sizes. Please use the linked advertising form below for details.

However you decide to support the event, we will be most appreciative. If you have any additional questions, please call Polly Richard at 603.863.0739 or Claire Vogel at 603.863.5776.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on Thursday, June 26, and Friday, June 27.
