I started this tournament in memory of my father, Brian D. Flanagan.  He passed away when I was 8 years old from lung cancer.  The goals of the tournament are to honor my father, help in the fight against the disease that took him from us and to set an charitable example of community involvement for my children.  This is our 4th Annual tournament with all proceeds going to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.  The mission of DFCI is to provide expert compassionate care to children and adults with cancer while advancing the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of cancer and related diseases.
