During the 2nd Annual CureNFwithJack DC Golf Classic, there will be a medical symposium hosted by Dr. Robert Avery and featuring many of the nation’s leading physicians. While we are playing some golf, they will be meeting ALL DAY to discuss ways to better standardize care for NF patients. Unlike ANY golf event that you may have been a part of, CureNFwithJack DC will allow you to literally “see” your dollars at work before you shank your first drive! Opportunities to meet with the physicians helping our NF heroes will occur after the round. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a DIRECT help to Jack and others all while playing golf at a great course.
If you have questions, please contact Matt Benson at 703-200-4956 or at matt.benson@longandfoster.com
If paying by check, please make checks out to Children’s Tumor Foundation, and note “CureNFwithJack DC” in memo section, and mail to:

As movie awards season ramps up, NPR invites fans to attend a special conversation about one of the year’s most talked-about and nominated films. Wednesday, January 15, at 7PM (ET) at NPR HQ’s Studio 1, 12 Years A Slave writer and producer John Ridley talks about its making and impact with NPR correspondent Michele Norris.
Through a conversation with Ridley, Norris will take the audience behind the scenes of 12 Years A Slave, offering an in-depth discussion of the social, historical and cinematic nuances surrounding the film and his writing process in adapting the story for the big screen. A Q&A session with Ridley will follow, moderated by Norris, whose Race Card Project fosters wider conversation about race in America on the radio, online and in communities nationwide.
Based on the 1853 memoir, 12 Years A Slave follows the life of Solomon Northup, a free man from upstate New York who struggles for his freedom and his humanity after being kidnapped and sold into slavery. The film is widely lauded by critics as one of the most visceral portrayals of American slavery ever brought to the screen, and is nominated for seven awards — including Best Screenplay — at the Golden Globes, which take place this Sunday. Ridley is an American novelist, director and screenwriter whose other films include Undercover Brother (2002), Three Kings (1999) and Cold Around the Heart (1997).
