The Rippel Effect has sponsored two golf tournaments. Thanks to the generous donations of our corporate sponsors and individual donors we have raised more than $65,000! Please see sponsors below - you can click and visit their websites.

The golf tournaments would not have taken place without the help of our very generous volunteers and a organizing committee. They are all top notch. We especially want to thank our organizing committee Linda and Gary Edmiaston, Holly Tuten and Lisa Wood. We couldn't have done it without you all.

What are we doing with all this money? We have gotten the "blackberry project" off to a great start. We have partnered with Sprint Wireless and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to identify teens under going treatment and provided them with "blackberry" type phones and unlimited service. With these phones the teens are able to stay in touch with the non-cancer world during the long hours of waiting and treatment.

Take a look at the pictures and see the fun that we had at the tournaments. For 2011 we are going to focus our time and efforts on the Blackberry Project. We will be hosting the next golf tournament early 2012 and hope you will join us then.
