Shawnee Country Club, 2501 Augusta Drive, Shawnee OK, 74801
The GO MITCH GO Foundation was established in honor of our son Mitchell Whitaker, who began his battle with leukemia (a blood cancer) at the age of 8. Despite Mitchell's courage and never quit attitude, Mitchell passed away at the age of 10 on September 27, 2007.
- Leukemia and other blood cancers claim more lives every year than all other cancers COMBINED.
- Blood cancers claim more lives of young people under the age of 20 than any other disease.
- Over the last decade, HALF of ALL cancer medications have been derived in whole, or in part, from Leukemia Lymphoma Society funded research.
- Every 10 minutes, another patient dies
- Every 4 minutes, a new patient diagnosis is announced.
Mitchell dreamt of playing college baseball and finding a cure for his disease. Tracy and I have set a goal to raise $1 millions dollars in his honor through the foundation that bears his name. The GO MITCH GO Foundation works closely with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society to keep Mitchell's dream alive and honor his last words: "Keep fighting." Funds raised will go towards research to find a cure for blood cancers and to assist families battling this dreaded disease.
We look forward to seeing you on the course for a great day of golf and to honor Mitchell's life.
