Benefiting Charities and Partner Organizations

The Lograsso Family could not be more thrilled about this "kids helping kid's" concept! We feel now that Kyle has overcome his battle with cancer and we must do all we can to give back to the organizations that saved his life! It is because of the research conducted at the Eye Tumor Research Foundation and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia that Kyle's life was spared. Our family also spent some time at the Ronald McDonald house in Philadelphia and that is an amazing place! Thank you so much for joining in our fight to reach the Lograsso Family goal of one day finding a cure. That day may not even be in our lifetime but we feel it is important to take advantage of opportunities in our lifetime that better the lives of others.

The Eye Tumor Research Foundation

The Eye Tumor Research Foundation is a foundation devoted to research in eye cancers and eye tumors in an effort to win the struggle for life and sight. The ultimate goal of the Foundation is to improve patient care by improving methods of diagnosis and treatment of affected patients. The contributions made to the foundation are specifically for one purpose - to provide support for research in the investigation of eye cancers and eye tumors. This organization is based out of the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia where Kyle has been treated from day one.

Childrens Hospital Of Philadelphia

Kyle was treated by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and we believe it is so important to do all we can to prevent another child from going through what Kyle did. The Children's Foundation will benefit through this fund and aids in all pediactric oncology research.

Els for Autism Golf Challenge

Every once in a while a cause resonates so profoundly that we need to respond. I so appreciate that you’re joining with me to combat the epidemic of autism. I know firsthand what families go through, my 8 year old son Ben is on the autism spectrum. I’ve been through all the stages from “why me” to “why can’t I fix this?”.  This year we’re going to play great golf but we’re also going to accept the challenge of raising money to create the Els Center of Excellence, a model for the world of what should be made available for children on the autism spectrum. It’s driven by a global digital learning platform that will allow therapeutic best practices to reach families in need all over the world.

Kids on the Hill

The purpose of the Kids on the Hill program is to introduce the game of golf and it's life values to Philadelphia Police Athletic League (PAL) kids who might not otherwise have the opportunity, and, to continue nurturing their interest in golf by way of improving individual skills. Thanks to the contributions of individual donors, over 100 PAL kids participate each year in the 8 week program, many of which have continued on to play high school and even collegiate golf. Police officers from each local PAL center serve as counselors, and a team of PGA professionals and apprentices provide the driving range and on-course instruction.
