Brothers and Sisters, Contractors, Vendors, Friends and Colleagues: On behalf of the Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers, thank you for your support and participation in the 2017 John Hayes Memorial Golf Outing. This year, we are proud to be able to donate proceeds from this event to theTyson Gamble Fund.Tyson Gamble is the 34-year-old son of Doug Gamble, our Western States Conference International Vice President, and his wife, Shirley. Last July, their lives were changed forever when Tyson was involved in a horrific dirt bike accident that almost cost him his life. He is now fighting to regain the use of his legs after a 20-foot fall caused a compression fracture to his T12 vertebrae and a burst fracture of his L1 vertebrae. Now, 11 months later,Tyson still requires daily care. Unfortunately, much of the medical and personal services he needs are not covered by insurance. The level of support you have all shown is outstanding. I want to personally thank you, along with the entire John Hayes Memorial Golf Outing Committee, for your commitment to helping our Brother, which goes above and beyond your 15 years of support for deserving beneficiaries and organizations dear to the John Hayes Memorial Golf Outing. Fraternally, James P . McCourt, 2017 Honorary Chairman John Hayes Memorial Golf Outing Committee A MESSAGE FROM THE 2017 HONORARY CHAIRMAN
