MISSION STATEMENT
The Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure Charity Golf Tournament is extremely proud to be able to support the work of the world-class researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to reduce
and ultimately eliminate the burden of cancer.
UPCOMING EVENT
The 15th annual Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure Charity Golf Tournament is slated for Sept. 26, 2023 at Twin Hills Country Club in Longmeadow.
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 tumor 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 14 years, the tournament has raised $1.456 million to support Patrick Wen, M.D. and his team of researchers 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 trials in immunotherapy, and conducting groundbreaking basic research to guide new therapeutic approaches.
