Thad and Alice Eure Walk for Hope receive proceeds from 2007 Ross Nelson Golf Tournament

Raleigh, NC — July 1, 2007

The Thad and Alice Eure Walk for Hope has once again been chosen to receive proceeds from the 2007 Ross Nelson Golf Tournament held on September 7 at Riverwood Golf Club in Clayton. In its thirteenth year, the Ross Nelson Golf Tournament has raised over $183,000 for local charities. The tournament is held each September in memory of John Ross and Page Nelson. Both Ross and Nelson were employed with Midway Airlines; Ross as Director of RDU Operations and Nelson as Safety Director. The tournament is coordinated by Wayne Bartholomew of Bartholomew Paving and Patching.

The annual Walk for Hope is an event of the Foundation of Hope for Research and Treatment of Mental Illness which was established by the late Thad and Alice Eure to promote scientific research aimed at discovering the causes and potential cures for mental illness in order to develop a more effective means of treatment.

The 19th Annual Thad and Alice Eure Walk for Hope will be held at the Angus Barn on Sunday, October 14, 2007.
