Annual golf scramble honors memory of Maureen T. O’Brien: West Shore Chatter

Golfers will take to the links at 9:04 a.m. Sept. 24 at the Sweetbriar golf course in Avon Lake for the fourth annual Maureen T. O’Brien Golf Scramble in honor of St. Raphael School and Magnificat High School graduate Maureen O’Brien, who died in November 2007 after a 15-year battle with breast cancer.

All proceeds from the event will go to MOmentum Organization, a non-profit started in O’Brien’s memory by three fellow Magnificat alumnae, Colleen O’Brien and Patty Abraham.

MOmentum provides lawn care, house cleaning, medical transportation and light home maintenance to women battling breast cancer.

“Unfortunately, Mo’s life ended at her home in Avon, but her spirit will live on in the women our non-profit services,” Kane said.

If you’d like to golf, but haven’t signed up to participate, it is still not too late. They will take walk-in registrations.

If you would like to contribute to the cause, but are not a golfer, donations (of services as well as of financial support) are always welcome.

Finally, if you know of a woman battling breast cancer who could use a little help getting things done around the home, MOmentum would love to be of assistance.

Contact Colleen O’Brien at (440) 333-1017, or Kane at (440) 871-8382 for more information.
