HUBBARD, Ohio - Ankle & Foot Care Centers today announced plans for its 18th annual Diabetes Golf Benefit, a four-person scramble set for Friday, August 19, at the Pine Lakes Golf Club at 6233 W. Liberty St. in Hubbard.

The tournament raises money for local diabetes education, resources and support, through Ankle & Foot Care Centers and the Diabetes Partnership of the Mahoning Valley.

"We're looking forward to raising more funds for the ongoing battle against diabetes," said Dr. Michelle Anania, partner at Ankle & Foot Care Centers and the event's lead organizer.

The event has been sponsored by Ankle & Foot Care Centers since 1999 and has raised more than $140,000 for services and education for diabetes patients.

A shotgun start is scheduled for 10:30 a.m., following sign-in at 9:30 a.m. The $100 fee per golfer includes 18 holes of golf, lunch and dinner, beverages on the course, merchandise prizes and skill contests. Lunch will be served on the course with dinner at the pavilion immediately following the event.
