May 23, 2008 - The proceeds from this event will go to the Kevin Everett Foundation, a non-profit organization created by former Buffalo Bill Kevin Everett to financially assist people with spinal cord injuries transition from the hospital to their home.
“The entire Buffalo community was devastated by Kevin’s injury in last year’s season opener. But his miraculous recovery has had even more of an impact because of the great hope it offers people with spinal cord injuries. That’s why we’re positively thrilled and proud to be a sponsor for the first of what will hopefully be many Kevin Everett Golf Classic Weekends,” said Brian Cohen, owner of DirectBuy of Buffalo.
