WHO WE ARE
AND WHAT WE DO
The Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure Charity Golf Tournament was started by Carla and Tommy Cosenzi to honor the legacy of their father, Tom Cosenzi, who passed away from
a glioblastoma in 2009 and dreamed of a cure for brain cancer. As the co-presidents of the TommyCar Auto Group, Carla and Tommy have made this tournament a flagship philanthropic event in the Western New England auto- dealership community.
Over the past 12 years, the tournament
has raised $1,182,172 to support Patrick Wen, M.D., and his research colleagues in the Center for Neuro-oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Proceeds from this tournament help Dana-Farber researchers design novel clinical trials to test and develop targeted therapies that have not previously been studied in brain tumors, initiating several clinical
