Long(est) Day of Golf Fundraiser 2020

For over 10 years, golfers have been raising funds for medical repurposing research at Cures Within Reach’s annual golf event. In 2020, we return to play at Rich Harvest Farms, an exclusive private course rarely accessible by non-members and named the 5th best new private course in the US by Golf Digest when it debuted in 1999.
