Alonzo Mourning, a Hall of Famer, Olympian, and kidney transplant recipient, is not only celebrated for his remarkable basketball achievements but also for his advocacy for organ donation. After enduring a life-altering diagnosis of kidney disease in 2000, Mourning received a life-saving transplant in 2003, allowing him to return to his professional career.

With more than 100,000 Americans awaiting a lifesaving organ transplant, this golf tournament serves as a vital fundraiser, amplifying efforts to celebrate unity, honor donors, and inspire hope for those in need. The president of the Nevada Donor Network Foundation, Gordon Prouty, emphasized the significance of each participant's swing, equating it to support for the mission of honoring heroic donors and raising awareness regarding the urgent need for organ donations.
