History of Tee It Up To Celebrate Life

Founded in 2004 as Rally/Tennis by Rick Barbaria, John Randazzo and Tom Yacko, husbands of Rally To Celebrate Life committee members, these men created an event from their own passion — golf.  For years they helped with the tennis tournament, mostly providing strong backs where needed. If tennis worked, golf would too, they thought. Each year Tee It Up to Celebrate Life has raised more funds than the year before. “The event is blossoming with new sponsors and volunteers every year,” Tom Yacko states.  Golf works just fine!
