4 EASY WAYS TO SUPPORT CANCER RESEARCH
Cancer Research: Finding Answers That Will Save Lives
What does it take to outsmart cancer? Research. Supporting cancer research is critical to improving cancer treatment outcomes, reducing cancer incidence, and improving the quality of life for cancer patients and their families. The Jay Sigel Invitational Tournament is the premier charity golf tournament in the Delaware Valley that supports breast cancer and prostate cancer research and patient care. We've raised more than $5.1 million for cancer research since 1992, all to find more – and better – treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve cancer patients' quality of life. Please join us in our mission. Participate in our tournament, make a tax-deductible donation, become a sponsor or simply bid generously on an auction item. Together, we can make a difference.
32nd Annual JAY SIGEL INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 / Aronimink Golf Club, Newtown Square, PA
The Jay Sigel Invitational will celebrate its 32nd Anniversary as the premier charity golf tournament in the Delaware Valley. We invite you to join us on Monday, September 23, 2024 to support our Host & Founder’s efforts, Jay Sigel, on behalf of both breast cancer and prostate cancer research and patient care. Beginning in early 2016, The Jay Sigel Invitational broadened its fundraising initiative to include breast cancer research through clinical trials involving novel therapies for advanced metastatic disease. This charity tournament also supports research into lower dose radiation therapy, and groundbreaking trials to determine prediction of recurrent disease.
The 2024 Jay Sigel Invitational will return to its home at the prestigious Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, which has hosted the 1962 PGA Championship, 1977 U.S. Amateur Championship, 1997 U.S. Junior Championship, 2003 Senior PGA Championship, the 2010 & 2011 AT&T National, 2018 BMW Championship, and 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. In 2026 Aronimink will host the PGA Championship.

OVER
Your support of cancer research is critically important:
- Improved treatments: Cancer research leads to the development of new and improved treatments for cancer patients. With advancements in cancer research, scientists and doctors are able to better understand the nature of cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms that drive cancer growth. This knowledge can then be used to develop targeted therapies that are more effective and have fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
- Early detection: Cancer research also helps in the development of better tools and techniques for early detection of cancer. Early detection is essential for successful treatment outcomes as it allows for timely intervention before the cancer has a chance to spread to other parts of the body.
- Prevention: Research on cancer also provides insights into risk factors and preventive measures that can reduce the incidence of cancer. By identifying and understanding the causes of cancer, researchers can develop strategies to prevent the disease from occurring in the first place.
- Cost-effectiveness: Cancer research can also lead to cost-effective treatments that are accessible to a broader population. By developing more targeted therapies, researchers can reduce the need for expensive and often ineffective treatments, which can ultimately reduce the economic burden of cancer on patients and healthcare systems.
