Golfers Against Cancer was started in the summer of 1997 by members of the Deerwood Club in Kingwood, Texas. The group was founded to show support to a Deerwood member and assistant pro who both had been diagnosed with cancer at the time. GAC was the idea of a Deerwood golf wife who told her husband, "if you are upset, then do something about it." Bobby Jones talked to his golf buddies Everette Bernal, Rod Felts and the Saturday morning gang at Deerwood got together they started Golfers Against Cancer. The mission of Golfers Against Cancer is to raise funds for cancer research to honor these friends battling cancer.
One of these men was the father of our first employee, Cristen Hewett. When her father passed in January 1998, Interactive Ensemble began the journey with GAC to build an online presence that has evolved to include online registration for the annual tournament, online donations, ability to purchase products and the history of the organization. We are proud to continue our corporate sponsorship with the Golfers Against Cancer in the effort to find the cures for cancer.
