The Third Annual Robert Jackson Golf Classic took place on behalf of the
Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation (JTHF) at the Beckett Ridge Country
Club on Monday, October 1, 2007.
Nearly 132 golfers participated in the event with a few familiar
faces including: former Bengals Robert Jackson, Louis Breeden, Isaac
Curtis, Jim Breech, Barney Bussey, John Simmons, and David Fulcher as
well as former Red Mo Sanford and former Olympic basketball star “Big”
George Wilson.
The shotgun start began at 8:30 a.m. and play was steady most of the
morning with the exception of a short shower. Afterwards, the golfers
were treated to a delicious lunch provided by Outback Steakhouse
Springdale in the country club’s banquet hall.

“Everyone had a great time golfing and we even had a waiting list
this year. We are so thankful to our sponsors and all of our golfers who
helped support the JTHF mission,” said JTHF president Tim Hayden. “When
the community comes together we can be a powerful force in the fight
against pediatric brain tumors.”
The annual golf classic was able to raise over $30,000 for JTHF with
the help of over thirty sponsors. Sponsorship offers were even coming in
as late as the day before the event and every dollar helps JTHF
contribute to a cure. Volunteers made a large contribution again this
year helping plan, organize and execute the event. Close to 25
volunteers led by Joan Baldasare helped make the day a success.
With a group of cheerful golfers and many repeat players, next year’s
outing only promises to be bigger and better.
