A promise made in JoAnne’s memory

Together we swing.
Together we fight.

For 16 years, one family’s promise has brought a community together to fund life-saving cancer research.

Why we keep fighting

A mother’s courage.
A son’s promise.

The JoAnne M. Sullivan Memorial Fund was founded in 2008 by Walter, Patrick and Meaghan Sullivan to honor JoAnne after her long and inspiring battle with cancer.

In their final conversation, Patrick promised his mother that he would never let her fight end. That promise became a movement—one that has united families, golfers, researchers and friends year after year.

“As long as I’m living, I’m fighting. And as long as I’m fighting, my mother is going to survive this battle.”— Patrick Sullivan
