Ankle & Foot Care Centers announced plans for its 20th annual Diabetes Golf Benefit, a four-person scramble set for Friday, August 17, at the Pine Lakes Golf Club at 6233 W. Liberty St. in Hubbard.

The tournament raises money for the Diabetes Partnership of Mahoning Valley. This organization provides the much needed education, resources, and support for people and families living with Diabetes in our community.

"This annual event always generates a great turnout and we're hoping to raise $16,000 this year," said Dr. Michelle Anania, partner at Ankle & Foot Care Centers and the event's lead organizer. "It's a great opportunity to come together to help raise awareness and support the fight against diabetes."

The event has been sponsored by Ankle & Foot Care Centers since 1999 and has raised more than $165,000 for services and education for diabetes patients.

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

Registration deadline is Wednesday, August 8. There are also opportunities to support this event through hole and corporate sponsorships. Those interested should call Michael Vallas at (330) 629-8800 for more details.

Ankle & Foot Care Centers works with the Diabetes Partnership on initiatives to stop the spread of diabetes, which afflicts more than 29 million Americans and often manifests itself in the feet. Diabetes is a leading cause of foot and other amputations, as well as blindness, kidney failure, heart failure and stroke.
