Join us for the 12th Annual Collins Dixon Bend Your Knees Golf Tournament - Friday, October 13, 2023
We can’t wait to see you this Fall!
Bend Your Knees, Inc. will be hosting our 12th Annual Collins Dixon Bend Your Knees Golf Tournament which will be held Friday, October 13, 2023. This is a great community event and a great way to raise awareness for childhood brain cancer as well as raise money for charities that support families facing the battle of a child with a cancerous brain tumor.
How we help OTHERS…
1 – Raise Awareness of kids with brain tumors.
We raise awareness through t-shirts sales, Collins’ Scholarships, support of community events, and the various fund raisers we do or support.
2 – Support Families with a child with a brain tumor.
We support local families that have a child with a brain tumor by giving directly to a family and help the family with fund raising efforts.
3 – Support other organizations and events to reach families in other communities.
Through the funds we raised over the years we have been able to help several families not only locally in Cherokee County, but throughout the Southeast. For instance, working with other organizations like the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and the Collins Dixon Memorial fund we have been able to give to children outside of our local reach. By doing so we have been able to help numerous families in the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Giving Back to others is only part of the mission of Collins’ foundation. Collins’ faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was strong. As his body grew weaker, his faith grew stronger. Jesus was real to Collins’. He showed us how to FINISH STRONG!
Thank you for your interest in Collins’ foundation.
God Bless and FINISH STRONG!
We are expanding our mission to also raise awareness for mental health & suicide prevention in honor of Collins’ late brother, Sonny. Visit our SonLIGHT page for more information.
