The Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open

Justin Timberlake has teamed up with the Shriners

Hospitals for Children to continue the tradition of an

official PGA TOUR Event in Las Vegas. PGA TOUR

Professionals from around the world travel to Las Vegas

to participate in the weeklong event that takes place in

your backyard at TPC Summerlin. With the biggest

names in golf and entertainment getting involved, our

tournament is host to numerous community and special

events. With two pro-ams (PGA TOUR pros play with

amateur golfers), a Women’s Day, dental clinic, walk-a-

thon, and youth clinic, we are dedicated to giving back to

the Las Vegas community. What makes this PGA TOUR

event so special is its true purpose, to support the

Shriners Hospitals for Children. All proceeds from the

tournament benefit the ongoing programs of the most

innovative and giving hospitals.

Shriners Hospitals for Children

Shriners Hospitals for Children® is a health care system of 22

hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing

specialty pediatric care, innovative research and outstanding

teaching programs. Children up to the age of 18 with orthopedic

conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate are

eligible for admission and receive all care in a family-centered

environment. Did you know that currently 500 children from

Southern Nevada are being cared for by the Shriners Hospitals

for Children? What’s more is that care is provided regardless of

the patient’s ability to pay. Help us support our local youth by

volunteering, participating in an event, or by simply walking the

course at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children

Patient Story

Mike Babin

Ed Graney from the Las Vegas Review Journal wrote a

touching article on various Las Vegas patients of the Shriners

Hospitals for Children from which we share with you.

Copyright Las Vegas Review Journal Oct. 24, 2010

Mike Babin was just three years old and playing in his garage

when a gasoline can was knocked over and engulfed the boy in

flames. Burned on more than 85% of his body, Mike needed

immediate burn care. “They told us he wouldn’t live. They told us

he wouldn’t be able to function, that society wouldn’t accept him.

Well, we wouldn’t accept that” says Mike’s father Michael Babin.

After being discouraged by burn units near his home in Baton

Rouge, LA., they turned to Shriners Hospitals for

Children in Galveston, TX . Over the next 13 years, Shriners

Hospitals for Children provided over 30 surgeries to help Mike

grow into a normal boy. With encouragement from his parents,

Linda and Michael Babin, Mike accepted the scars that covered

his body and participated in many school activities through high

school.

After surviving this horrific event, Mike was killed in an

automobile accident at age 30. To commemorate his life, and to

show appreciation of the life changing care provided to Mike,

Linda and Michael named Shriners Hospitals for Children the

beneficiary of their life insurance policy, roughly $1.8 million in

2010.

This is just one story. Shriners Hospitals for Children change the

lives of over 120,000 children each year . Generous

donations from patient families, friends, and supporters allow

Shriners Hospitals for Children to grant the gift of life to Mike and

thousands of children in North America.

Tough Day Challenge

Women’s Day

This year, the first annual Kick Off Your Heels Luncheon, coordinated by many of the best known and highly respected women in Las Ve-

gas, will be held in The Hill. Thirty-five (35) tables of ten are expected to be sold to raise money for Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Every woman knows about the swollen feet after attending an event in high heels. That’s why at the golf course, we have made this unique

fundraising event heel-free. Women are encouraged to wear their favorite flats and relax and enjoy the scenic beauty of TPC Summerlin.

The luncheon will feature a prominent female speaker, a delicious menu as well as a female sommelier who will spend time at each table

discussing wines, as well as wine and food pairings. This is an event you don’t want to miss.

To learn how your business can be involved in this event, or to reserve a table, contact John Slattery: 702-589-4948
