“We look forward to this event every year.  It’s a great day that we are proud to sponsor,” said Jeff Mowrey, Co-Founder of Easy Rest Adjustable Beds.  “Over the years our affiliation with the tournament has helped to raise a significant amount of money for this very worthy cause.  We look forward to raising a significant amount of money again this year for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.”  

 

“Thanks to everyone’s gracious support over the years, our ‘grass roots’ charity has donated more than $190,000 to the Make A Wish Foundation, which has helped to grant the wishes of 30 children”, stated Steve Mowrey, President of Chad Blum Memorial Charities. “That’s truly remarkable!  Our hope is to get enough support this year so we can grant wishes to at least three children who face life-threatening medical conditions and whose families endure countless hospital visits and overwhelming hardships.  You don’t have to be a good golfer to play in our tournament.  In fact, most of us are pretty average,” he added.

Easy Rest Adjustable Sleep Systems has a long-standing relationship with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  For the past fourteen years the Mowrey family has organized this annual fundraiser, sponsored by Easy Rest, for the Mid-Atlantic chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  In 1996, their niece was granted the wish of an all-expense paid week in Disney World with her family.  When their stepbrother was killed in a car accident the following year the family started the tournament in his name.  Easy Rest employees, distributors and business partners across the country support the effort and participate in the tournament alongside friends and family each year.
