Join Gift of Life Howie’s House supporters as they tee off for transplant patients and their families at the 19th Annual Kidney Open Golf Outing.

The Kidney Open started when Dan Sinnott was diagnosed with a tumor on his kidney. Yearning to play one last round of golf, he called his friends and organized a golf outing to take place the day before he underwent surgery. His surgery was a success, and with that life-changing experience he developed a profound empathy for hospital patients. A year after his surgery, the same friends who attended his pre-surgery game decided to make their golf outing an annual event.

For the past 19 years, Dan has collaborated with his close friend Howard Nathan, former President & CEO of Gift of Life Donor Program, to use the outing to help support Gift of Life Howie’s House.

Proceeds from the golf outing directly help transplant families receive the care and support they so greatly need during their transplant journey. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Adopt-A-Family Program at Gift of Life Howie’s House, which helps subsidize the costs for families staying at the House to keep the room fees low. Guests are only asked to pay a small nightly fee of $40 despite actual costs exceed $175 per night. The Adopt-A-Family Program also covers the cost for families who cannot afford the nightly fee, ensuring that no family is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.

Please consider donating a gift certificate or an item of your choice to be used as a raffle prize at our Kidney Open Golf Outing—one of the ways we raise funds at this event. Any item donated will also be tax-deductible
