The Second Annual Jim Boeheim Golf Classic to benefit Coaches vs. Cancer is scheduled for July 23 at the Shenendoah Golf Club at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, N.Y.
Last year's event raised $75,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer, a subsidiary of the American Cancer Society. Metro Mattress is the title sponsor for the event.
“The golf tournament was a huge success last year,” said Boeheim. “We are looking forward to an even bigger success this year. With the help of Dave Shiroff and everyone at Metro Mattress, the American Cancer Society and our corporate partners, I think our goal of raising over $100,000 will be reached.”
“We were very pleased with last year's event,” said David Shiroff, president and CEO of Metro Mattress. “This year, we hope to raise $100,000.” Shiroff expects participation at this year's tournament to be nearly double what it was in 2008.

In addition to the benefits of registration, all golfers will receive an 18-hole round of golf; an invitation to pre-golf lunch buffet and post-golf award banquet dinner; a gift bag filled with an abundance of Nike apparel and footwear courtesy of Nike; a golf performance assessment, injury evaluation, stretching and massage offered by Sports Physical Therapy; and a chance to tee off one hole with Jim Boeheim.
