JSM Cure – Funding Research to Cure Blood Cancers
A 100% volunteer group raising money for The Leukemia Research Foundation

We have a new Facebook Group for the Jessica Shayne Magid “Chai” Chapter.  Please join to show and share your support!

As many of you may have noticed, in updating our website to highlight this year’s JSM Bowl-a-rama, the posts  from the last few years about the JSM Family Golf Tournament still appear on the home page.  We wanted to keep the history of our Jessica Shayne Magid Chapter “alive” and not erase these past posts.  That said, please focus your attention on the updated 2009 posts as this year we are hosting a Bowl-a-rama in place of the family golf tournament. 

Sunday July 19th, 2009 is the date to remember for the 1st annual Bowl-a-rama!  Mark this date on your calendars- we hope to see you there!

Welcome to the new JSM Bowl-a-rama website.  We have a new event this year and with that, a new domain!  Add jsmbowl.org to your favorites as this has replaced jsmfamilygolf.org. 

We hope you can join us on Sunday July 19th at Brunswick Zone in Mount Prospect for bowling, games, raffles and a great time with family and friends! Our family-focused event raising money for the Leukemia Research Foundation in memory of Jessica Shayne Magid will be one to remember. 

Registration is now open!  Visit this website often for updates about JSM Bowl-a-rama.

The Fourth Annual Jessica Shayne Magid Family Golf Tournament was a huge success! Photos from the event are now online for all to enjoy. Simply click on the “photos” link on the JSM website page and you will be taken directly to where you need to be. We welcome your comments on the event and on the photos. Make sure to check out the fun captions too. Happy viewing!

Hello Golfers please send this on to anyone in your group.

We’ll be optimistic that the weather will be perfect for this year’s JSM Family/Friend Golf Tournament. Here’s a little run down of the day…

• Registration/Check in begins at 7 AM.
• Drop off your clubs at the Chevy Chase caddy shack
• Join us on the patio and check in at registration
• You’ll receive your gifts, cap, program book.
• Enjoy a continental breakfast in the dining area sponsored by Continental Restaurant
• *NEW* Compete in a putting “contest” on the green.
• Learn at the putting clinic.

Then it’s off to the Tournament!

Mulligans are available at each Hole–$5 each (not needed, huh?)
On Hole 9, NutraSweet is sponsoring a $15,000 Hole-in-One. You could be lucky!!

The Ron Bokor BBQ Dinner will revitalize you and wait til you see what’s offered at our *NEW* Silent and Live Auctions! The Silent Auction begins in the morning.

I look forward to another successful golf event which will help “find a cure”.

Thanks for being a part of this day.

We just got our 4th Annual logo from our design firm dk worldwide. They have built us a new logo each year of the tournament, always adding a little polish and shine to it. This year they also created a new pink turtle, of our distinctive turtle icon. We have already started using her as a way to end each post on the site.
