$10,000 Raised For Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation

KENNESAW, GA — Once again, the Barter is Smarter Golf Tournament was a successful fund-raising event with $10,000 raised to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation –Southeast Region. Now in its sixth year, The Barter Company’s golf tournament has raised more than $50,000 to benefit the organization that provides financial, social and emotional support to thousands of families throughout the Southeast facing pediatric brain tumors.

Although the money raised will benefit a great cause, the highlight of the day for the golfers was meeting one of the brain tumor “stars” who played along with them at St. Marlo Country Club in Duluth.

“They had fun playing golf and raising money for these kids but to meet them personally and see the good that PBTF brings to their lives is incredible,” Ric Zampatti, CEO of The Barter Company, said.

Tammy Bates, Regional Director of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation – Southeast Region, said, “Our organization has expanded in 2019 from just serving Georgia to now covering the entire Southeast Region including 13 states. Each year, there are more children and their families to serve as they face some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Our work couldn’t happen without the consistent fund-raising support provided by The Barter Company.”
