Asher Open to be Held Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Thank you for visiting the official Asher Open 2008 Fundraising Page.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. 

Now in it's 12th year, the Asher Open began as a way for our staff to handle the stress associated with the accounting busy season.  While the event has become an annual fun tradition at Asher, several years ago, we realized that not only could we break stress, but we could also raise money for a good cause.  In the past few years, well over $10,000 has been raised for various worthy causes, as chosen by the prior year's champion.

Our defending champion Doug Hall chose Alex’s Lemonade Stand as the benefactor of this year’s Asher Open.  Doug says, "When I first heard about Alex's Lemonade Stand, I was in awe of a four year old girl who decided she was going to raise money herself to fight pediatric cancer by selling lemonade.  Alex Scott was truly an inspiration to thousands and that is evidenced by the fact that her simple lemonade stand has evolved into a nationally known charity that is raising money and awareness in the fight.  Pediatric cancer hit closer to home for me when a child in my neighborhood was diagnosed with cancer in 2004.  He spent months at CHOP receiving treatment and has been cancer free now for nearly three years.  To see a child suffer that way and then fight back is really amazing.  So, I have chosen Alex's Lemonade Stand for my charity of choice to help the researchers and doctors continue the fight for treatments and cures for pediatric cancer."
