The 1st Annual “Friends of Lynn” Golf Tournament, in memory of Lynn Dunagan, will swing into action at the beautiful Kickingbird Golf Course on Wednesday, September 2, in Edmond. All proceeds from the tournament will go directly to the Oklahoma Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America.

An avid golfer, Lynn Dunagan, who died of Lupus in 2006, was a member and past president of the Kickingbird Women's Golf Association. Dunagan organized several charity golf tournaments benefiting the Oklahoma County Youth Services Center, and was a former President of the American Lawyers Auxiliary. Her daughter, Janna Dunagan Hall, has organized the tournament to honor her mother's memory and to support the Oklahoma LFA Chapter in order to help raise awareness about this little known disease.

Lupus is a disease for which there is currently no cure. It is difficult to diagnose, and the cause is unknown. When a person has lupus, the immune system attacks the body's own tissue and organs. In some cases, the patient experiences only occasional symptoms and mild discomfort. In other cases, the symptoms are life threatening. Approximately 1.4 million Americans have lupus and of those, 90 percent are women.

The tournament, a four-player best ball scramble with shotgun start, will begin at 1:00 pm. The $75 entry fee for one person includes green fees, cart, range token and a goodie bag or a team/foursome will cost $250. Hole sponsorships are available for $500, which include one team along with hole signage. Mulligans will also be available!

Entry fees also include dinner served at 5:30 pm with cash prizes and gift certificates for contests such as Long Drive for Men and Women and Closest to the Hole for Men and Women.
