Mark your calendars; it's that time of the year again where the hot summer sun makes us realize how much we enjoy the Florida winter. It's also time to think about our favorite Golf Tournament - The Golf For Graham Tournament benefiting the Graham Robert Frechette Foundation at the prestigious Ginn Reunion Resort. Golf for Graham is not your ordinary golf tournament. It is an incredible two day event for the golfer and the non-golfer. We look forward to seeing you on Friday, November 30th and Saturday, December 1st.

Last year's event was very special and so much fun in so many ways but what we have planned this year we guarantee to be that much better! The cost of the tournament will be $375.00 per player or $ 1,500.00 per foursome. For the entry fee each player will receive a nice appreciation package that will include a $200.00 shopping spree with Nike Golf. We also have Major and Hole Sponsorship opportunities available. Friday night will be memorable as we celebrate the tournament and its wonderful cause. Saturday morning will begin with a butterfly release followed by golf and the After Party. Both golfers and non-golfers will enjoy this fantastic event……… come join us and appreciate the beautiful location, live music and the company of family and friends.

We encourage you to stay on the Ginn Reunion property instead of traveling back and forth. Special rates are being offered for participants in the Golf For Graham 2007 festivities. Please call (866) 554-9617 and reserve your villa or vacation home early.

Graham Robert Frechette's short but beautiful life touched many people's hearts. His parents, Roger & Luldes have created the Graham Robert Frechette Foundation and are hosting the 2nd Annual "Golf For Graham" event for the main purpose of raising funds for two very important causes (please click on the "about the GRFF" page for more info) and in hopes of touching many other peoples hearts in honor of Graham.

First Annual Golf for Graham Tournament a Huge Success!

December 1-2, 2006 marked the first annual Golf for Graham Tournament. More than 120 golfers participated in this extraordinary two-day event at Reunion.

Exceeding our expectations for our first event, we were pleased to be able to raise money for the Graham Robert Frechette Foundation and continue our mission to provide financial assistance to the Chiquitines Orphanage in Colombia, in hopes of allowing others to experience the miracle of adoption, as well as grief counseling for other families, like us, who have suffered the loss of a young child.

Our weekend included a pairings party, a candle lighting ceremony, live entertainment, a silent auction, and a Tournament After Party. At the start of the tournament participants and attendees gathered on the driving range for an awe inspiring butterfly release in memory of Graham.

This weekend could not have been possible without the help of many people. A special thank you to our Monarch Sponsor, MetAmerica, for hosting our Friday Poolside Party and FHIinc., our Queen Monarch sponsor for hosting our Saturday Awards/After Party. In addition, thank you to our Gulf Fritillary sponsors for their Golf Course Hole sponsorship: BioPointe, Aegis Wholesale Corporation, Turner Construction, and Eola Place. Additionally, the donations from the following companies aided in the success of the tournament: Mercedes-Benz of South Orlando, Fields Auto Group (Land Rover Orlando), Stitched ID, The forecaddie, Golf USA, the Rawles Group, Bella Collina, Flower Power, Lucas Appraisal Services Inc., Beef O’Brady’s, Audiowerx , Stewart Title Services, Dr. Richard Vantrease, Wide Horizons for Children Adoption Agency, The forecaddie, Ginn Reunion Resort for the use of the facilities and assistance in the logistics of the event, and our volunteers who helped with the behind the scenes implementation for the event.

THANK YOU ALL for your support! It is because of you…….our family, friends, sponsors and golfers that this event and our foundation we will continue to keep the spirit of Graham alive. We are very much looking forward to Golf for Graham 2007.
