Emiliana's Hope Golf Fundraiser Returns In Bayville
The golf fundraiser was cancelled last year due to the death of Timothy O'Brien, Emiliana's father. The event returns this July.
BERKELEY, NJ — The O'Brien family finds ways to persist after the loss of a loved one. Tim O'Brien managed a fundraiser golf outing for the Emiliana's Hope Foundation, honoring his daughter who died after a battle with cancer in 2015. She was 13.
O'Brien died Sept. 6 at age 42. While in Philadelphia's Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, his family asked if he would approve of them canceling the annual golf fundraiser. He nodded to express he wouldn't be upset.
But the Emiliana's Hope Foundation's event returns this summer. The third annual Golf "Fore" a Cure Fundraiser takes place July 19. Emiliana's Hope, founded in 2016, raises money and awareness for childhood cancer and affected families.
