This Fall's Berenberg Invitational at GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, NY raised $750,000 for pancreatic cancer research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine, bringing Berenberg’s combined tally over the past two tournaments to to $1,450,000. The funds will go towards medical research that will enhance our understanding of the complex disease and hopefully lead to new drug development.
There was an all-star turnout with Berenberg ambassadors Gary Player, Tom Watson,
Fred Couples, Mark O’Meara and Bernhard Langer joined by a bevy of golf superstars. The field boasted Presidents Cup International Team captain and 2008 Masters winner Trevor Immelman along with fellow green jacket owners Mike Weir and Larry Mize along with three-time U.S. Open winner, Hale Irwin.
Also competing were U.S. Women’s Open champion, Brittany Lang and the sole golfer to claim Player of the Year honors on all three PGA Tours, Tom Lehman.
Topping the leaderboard were the team captained by Fred Funk and Emma Cabrera-Bello, pictured, above.
“UNMC and Nebraska Medicine’s partnership with Berenberg is vital to our research on the molecular complexities of pancreatic cancer and our continuing efforts in early detection of the disease,” Dr. Sunil Hingorani, director of the UNMC Pancreatic Cancer Center of Excellence and Nebraska Medicine pancreatic cancer program, said.
“The Berenberg Invitational is especially meaningful because this cause is deeply personal to several of the professional golfers who participate in the tournament annually, as it
is to me.”
David Mortlock, Managing Partner at Berenberg added: “We are proud of the opportunity to raise
funds for a very worthy cause while spending time with our clients in a unique and meaningful way.
Our focus on charitable efforts will never waiver, and our Berenberg Invitational would not be possible without the generous contributions made by both our clients and an incredible field of participants.”
