Chairman’s Message
Dear Friends and Supporters,
This year’s “Breath of Hope” charity golf tournament was a huge success! We didn’t draw the largest number of players we’ve ever had but we came close. We had a record number of sponsors and donors, and the silent auction was a huge success. Without doubt, this is our most successful tournament ever and it should allow us to increase our ability to help Lung Transplant Patients and Their Caregivers.
We have already confirmed our date for next year, where on May 1, 2027 we will be returning to Dobson Ranch Golf Course, for the 18th annual Norm Lydiard “Breath of Hope” charity golf tournament. The long drive pro will be back and based on the feedback we received, we will be looking forward to hiring the same caterer back for lunch.
The hard work by the board, and the outstanding assistance of volunteers made this the smoothest running tournament as well. From check-in to last-minute registration, from raffle ticket sales to the distribution of the prizes, this was an outstanding event. Thank you to all those involved.
You will find a list of our donors and sponsors under the events page, but I must take a moment to thank those special volunteers, some of which have been with us for years. So, thank you: Kathy, Lisa, Brianne, Chewy, Lilliana, Alexis, Kelly, Cherry, Bob, Analyza, Sharon, Makaila, Tatum, Christianna, Paula, and Cindy. We would not have been successful without you.
Breathe deep and breathe well,
Glenn Hutchinson, Chairman
Lung Transplant Support Organization
Patients Helping Patients

Your generous support will allow us to help lung transplant patients and their families take a breath of hope.
