Andrew Marzilli golf tournament
MGH employees and friends are invited to participate in the fourth annual Andrew Marzilli golf tournament, to be held at the Hillview Country Club in North Reading, Mass., Sept. 17. Marzilli was a lifelong Revere resident and hockey player who received a double lung transplant at the MGH before his death from cystic fibrosis at the age of 19 in 1997. The golf tournament, established in his memory, raises an average of $10,000 each year for the MGH Lung Transplant Program, the MGH Cystic Fibrosis Research Fund and a scholarship fund at Malden Catholic High School. This year's tournament also will feature a lunch and raffle. For more information, call Barbara Lagorio at (978) 356-1695 or visit www.andymazgolf.com
