Special guest Scot Haney of &#8220;Eyewitness News This Morning&#8221; and &#8220;Better Connecticut&#8221; on WFSB Channel 3 will serve as auctioneer.<\/p>\n<p>This event, organized by a committee of volunteers in conjunction with the UConn Foundation, has raised more than $1.6 million for cancer research, prevention and education over its history. Proceeds will benefit the DNA sequencing program at the <a title=\"Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center\" href=\"http:\/\/cancer.uchc.edu\/\">Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center<\/a> at the UConn Health Center. DNA sequencing enables faster and more in-depth reading of a person&#8217;s genetic makeup. Scientists at the Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center are investigating how cancer tissues differ from normal tissues, and ways to advance cancer treatment based on a patient&#8217;s DNA.<\/p>\n<p>Registration, practice and lunch start at 11 a.m. Shotgun start is at 12:30 p.m. Dinner, including cocktails, awards ceremony, and live and silent auctions, starts at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The Tumble Brook Country Club is at 376 Simsbury Road in Bloomfield.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giving.uchc.edu\" target=\"_blank\">www.giving.uchc.edu<\/a> or call 860-679-4673 for more information or to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.friends.uconn.edu\/cancergolf\" target=\"_blank\">register<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Follow\u00a0the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uchc.edu\">UConn Health Center<\/a> on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uconnhealthcenter\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/uconnhealth\">Twitter<\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/uconnhealth\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proceeds will benefit the DNA sequencing program at the Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":80400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[179,1],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[45],"class_list":["post-80387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uconn-health","category-uncategorized"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-08 17:56:13","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80387"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83458,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80387\/revisions\/83458"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/80400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80387"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=80387"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=80387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
