(L-R): Golf Pro Bill Johnstone encourages cancer survivor Courtney Hicks while fellow cancer survivor Madison Williams watches Courtney try to sink her putt. Both girls participated in The Barter Company’s golf tournament that raised $10,000 for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation – GA Chapter.

Once again, more than $10,000 was raised by The Barter Company’s annual golf tournament to benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation – GA Chapter. This is the fourth year the fund-raising event has exceeded the $10,000 goal. A highlight of the day for the golfers was meeting two brain tumor survivors who played along with them at St. Marlo Country Club in Duluth, GA.

“The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation provides financial, social and emotional support to hundreds of Georgia families who are facing some of the most difficult moments in their lives,” said Ric Zampatti, CEO of The Barter Company. “We are pleased to support their work.”

Tammy Bates, ManagingDirector of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation – GA Chapter, said “We are so honored to be the recipient of The Barter Company’s generous support. We have been so fortunate and I can truly say that it makes a wonderful difference for the vulnerable young children with cancer whom we serve.”
