PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem will be honored during this year’s 7th Annual Miracles in the Moonlight Gala Sept. 22 at the Hyatt. The gala benefits the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which hopes to raise more than $200,000 to benefit research and education of diabetes.
“The Miracles in the Moonlight Gala will be a special evening to benefit diabetes research and honor a great friend of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation,” said Tom Palmer, president of the North Florida chapter of JDRF. “Tim is an outstanding business and community leader and with his support, JDRF will be able to work toward fulfilling our mission of finding a cure for diabetes.”
Finchem joins past honorees including Pete Carpenter, Tillie Folwer, John Delaney, Hugh Green and Carl Cannon in this honor.
