MayGolf Scramble at Willow Creek Golf Course
Willow Creek Golf Course • Knoxville, TN
Join us for our annual Golf Scramble Against SIDS on Saturday, May 18th, 2019. Open to all skill levels.
MAW’s Cause was founded in 2017 by the Weaver family after losing their son Mason Archer Weaver to SIDS at 4 months.
Mason was a healthy infant, who went down for a nap and never woke up. He had never been sick, showed no signs of an underlying issue and his parents did everything they could to ensure he was healthy throughout the pregnancy and life. No cause was determined after a thorough autopsy and police investigation. His family decided to start MAW’s Cause in his honor so that other families would not have to face this tragedy.
Over 3000 infants die each year from SIDS, the leading cause of infant death in the United States. Our mission is to educate parents on the ways to reduce the risk and potential cause of SIDS, build awareness throughout the Knoxville community and raise funds for continued research at two leading programs.
