20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HAVE A BALL GOLF TOURNAMENT x Thermos brand

I had a great day juggling at the 20th anniversary of the Have a Ball Golf Tournament, an annual event raising money for cancer causes of all kinds! Thanks to the generous golfers and lots of juggling, I raised $1260 for St. Jude! I’m honored to be involved in this effort for the past nine years, and I can’t wait to go back in September for round 2!

Highlights for me: Seeing the family behind it all: Kim and Bob Hammer (photo on the left) and their kids, Shayna and Josh. Bob is not only an incredible fundraiser himself, but he’s a 5x testicular cancer survivor and a major source of inspiration to me. Through the years, Bob’s tournament has raised more than $4.6M for cancer-fighting causes, and I’m honored to be a part of the effort (big shout out to my friend, Vern Glenn, KPIX Sports Director, for inviting me to the tournament and sharing Hole #4 with me each year).

Seeing (and juggling for) repeat golfer and donor Chris (photo on the right), who at one point held the Guinness World Record for the longest consecutive drumroll (8 hours!) Even more impressive is that he raised $145K for MS research while doing it! I just love seeing how other people have turned their own passions into social-impact opportunities.

And, I loved having Emily Schlesinger by my side (far right in photo on left), representing St. Jude and supporting my fundraising as she has for the past 11 years.

My day of juggling was a success, in part thanks to my favorite Thermos Brand Icon Series water bottle and Cold Tumbler— keeping my iced coffee iced all day at the tournament! All Thermos products are durable and reusable, so say goodbye to single-use! CLICK THIS LINK to view my Instagram reel to see more Thermos products and some juggling :)

I’m well on my way to hitting my $1Million mark for kids with cancer, and I hope you’ll help me get there! As always, if you want to donate to my fundraiser to help St. Jude’s global fight, via the research and treatment protocols they share freely with institutions worldwide, you can do that here.

Thank you for your support!
