On Monday, June 18^th, the JDRF Georgia Chapter held its 4^th Annual Tee Up for Diabetes event presented by Georgia Natural Gas. Golfers enjoyed a gorgeous day featuring 18 holes at one of the South’s premier courses and participated in some fun contests, including Beat the Pro with retired professional Emee Herbert. A big thank you to all our sponsors and foursome hosts for helping to make this year’s event our most successful to date, raising $170,000 for the JDRF mission.
