McGuiness Memorial Golf event supports brain tumor research

The Brain Cancer Answer Foundation held its McGuiness Memorial Golf Tournament and Auction Oct. 7 at Kings Creek Country Club in Rehoboth Beach.

A group of 123 golfers participated in the event named in memory of Nicholas McGuiness, who died of a malignant brain tumor in 2022. The foundation aims to heighten community awareness about brain tumors and help raise funds to find a cure. All proceeds benefit the National Brain Tumor Society.  

In 2023, its inaugural year, the foundation’s event was the fourth-largest community fundraiser for the brain tumor society, raising more than $102,000.  Ashley Brennan, NBTS chief development officer, attended this year’s event to present the group with the Trailblazer Award for the tremendous success of its inaugural effort in memory of McGuiness.

To date in 2024, the Brain Cancer Answer Foundation has raised $109,000.
