Organized by Killian’s grandfather Paul Owen along with Gina Janvrin and Elizabeth Owen - Killian’s aunts - the tournament was held at Hillcrest Golf course. Paul Owen and his team won the best-ball tournament with a score of 17 under. Plans are already underway for the 2006 tournament. |
While many families were enjoying the long lazy days of summer, the volunteers at Coaches Curing Kids’ Cancer were busy pursuing their mission of raising money to find a cure for childhood cancer. The fifth graders of Heathwood Hall Episcopal School in Columbia, SC raised more than $3,000 for Coaches Curing Kids’ Cancer by staging a flag football game—played by their moms! Elizabeth Owen, aunt of Killian Owen—the inspiration for the program—spearheaded the effort. SC Governor Mark Sanford proclaimed May 24, 2005 as Coaches Curing Kids’ Cancer day in South Carolina. |
