On December 6th, 1996, Butch Mancini died suddenly of a heart attack. To keep his memory alive, family and friends decided to start a golf outing.
Butch & Beverly were high school sweethearts. The two grew up in Park Ridge where they raised their daughters Dina, Janelle, and Gillian.
Butch's oldest grandchild, Nicole, was diagnosed with a genetic heart disease at the age of 6. With knowledge of this heart disease, the family has been able to follow its progression. Unfortunately, many families are not this fortunate.
