This is the first time the event is being held at the club.

"Prior to this year the event has changed locations each year, but since this year’s event is doing so well, it has already raised more than $200,000, the plan is to make it an annual invitational event in Scarsdale at the Quaker Ridge Golf Club," Peggy Ann Torney, senior manager of public affairs at the Lymphoma Research Foundation, said.

The event, sponsored by Prince Family Foundation, Stern Family Philanthropic Foundation, Affinia Group and Nathan Gantcher, begins at 10:45 a.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m. It includes brunch, golf, a cocktail hour and dinner.

The invitational will generate support for the Lymphoma Research Foundation, whose mission is to "to eradicate lymphoma and serve those touched by the disease," Torney said.
