My name is Angela Ferrizzi-Henry, my family and I are organizing our 3rd Ralph Ferrizzi Memorial
Golf Tournament to raise funds for the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF). My father Ralph
Ferrizzi loved the game of golf and played everyday. Never did a day go by that the golf channel was
not on the TV. He even went as far as to build golf greens in his back yard so he could practice daily.
On September 18th, 2001 my father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and passed away eight days
later. Multiple myeloma is a complex (and often misdiagnosed) cancer of the bone marrow that
attacks and destroys bone. In the United States, there are over 1,000 new cases of myeloma diagnosed
each month. In the past 30 years, there has been a dramatic (400%) increase in the incidence of
multiple myeloma.
The International Myeloma Foundation is a non-profit public corporation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3)
organization in the State of California. This years event will be held on May 20, 2006 at the Green
Pond Country Club in Bethlehem, PA. Proceeds from this event will benefit the IMF's multiple
myeloma research grant program.
We will be holding a raffle and any prize you would be able to donate would be greatly appreciated.
Your support is tax deductible according to the non-profit 501(c)(3) code. The IMF's Federal Tax ID
number is 95-429-6919. And, of course, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped
in the fight against cancer.
Thank you for your consideration, if you have any questions or will be able to make a donation please
contact me at (610) 264-1949.
Sincerely,
Angela Ferrizzi-Henry
