The Upstate Foundation recently hosted the 37th annual Upstate Open to support pediatric and adult cancer care and research, raising a record-setting $320,000. Held at the Turning Stone Resort Casino, Aug. 8, the tournament featured two morning and afternoon flights on two courses for the first time with nearly 400 golfers (96 teams) competing for first- through fifth-place honors.

“We were thrilled with the level of support this year as 106 sponsors directed their philanthropic support to cancer care,” said Eric Stensland, director of corporate development at the Upstate Foundation. “We cannot thank our sponsors enough for supporting the extraordinary work of our amazing doctors and scientists at Upstate Medical University who specialize in cancer care and research.”
