Golf tour operators Hidden Links and Golfpac Travel partner with legendary golfer Jay Sigel supporting cancer research

September 19, 2024—Hidden Links & Golfpac Travel are again sponsoring the 32nd Annual Jay Sigel Invitational Tournament on September 23, 2024, at Aronimink Golf Club, Newtown Square, PA for the third year in a row.

The Jay Sigel Invitational Tournament is the premier charity golf tournament in the Delaware Valley that supports breast cancer and prostate cancer research and patient care. The foundation has raised $5.2 million for cancer research since 1992, all to find more – and better – treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve cancer patients’ quality of life. Beginning in early 2016, The Jay Sigel Invitational broadened its fundraising initiative to include breast cancer research through clinical trials involving novel therapies for advanced metastatic disease.  This charity tournament also supports research into lower dose radiation therapy, and groundbreaking trials to determine prediction of recurrent disease.

“The Jay Sigel Invitational supports vital research provided through the University of Pennsylvania’s Abramson Cancer Center. The programs supported by this event have the potential to be life altering for cancer patients. Jay is a good friend and for 32 years has led this meaningful initiative. Jay and Julie work so hard throughout the year to make this a special and meaningful day that raises as much money as possible. We are thrilled to support this mission for the third year in a row and it is always one of the days we circle on our calendar each year as we always look forward to attending in person” said Marc Bender on behalf of Hidden Links and Golfpac Travel where he and Adam Wachter are the Managing Partners.

“It’s great to have Hidden Links and Golfpac Travel back as a corporate sponsor and our live auction sponsor for our event. As I said last year, Marc and Adam are universally respected as business leaders. They have been incredibly supportive of our charity supporting Cancer Research for the past several years and their donated trips have helped us raise tens of thousands of dollars. I truly appreciate their partnership.  Also, having played so many years of competitive junior and amateur golf, it’s great to see they have become a big supporter and charity partner to nearly every junior golf initiative.” said Jay Sigel.
