6th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic - Hack n` Smack Celebrity Golf
6th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic Monday, May 11, 2009 El Caballero Country Club supporting “The cancer we can see, but no one talks about.” Presented by The Actors’ Network Aaron, Darla & Mike... You simply have made the event possible since its inception! Thank you. Kerry Scot Daveline March 4, 1961 South Bend, ID January 4, 2003 Sherman Oaks, CA Kerry Daveline (far left), at his final USC / Notre Dame game with tournament Co-Hosts Kevin E. West and Michael Moynahan. “Every man dies. Not every man truly lives.” — Braveheart The Hack n’ Smack event is the fulfillment of a promise made to Kerry Daveline by his friend, Kevin E. West, just prior to Kerry’s death on January 4th, 2003. Kevin and Kerry wanted to combine their passion for golf to raise money and awareness in the fight against melanoma. Kerry fought like a champ for nearly five years, still singing, doing voice over work and traveling. While Kerry was not able to share in the joy of their birth, his widow, Mia Daveline gave birth to their miracle post-mortem twin daughters on January 3rd, 2005. They all attend the event annually. We are proud to support Dr. Francesco Federico! We are deeply indebted to you for your support! The Melanoma Research Foundation in memory of our friend Kerry Daveline Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren & Richman, LLP Silver Lake’s “Walking Man” is far more than that! Thanks so much for caring about Kerry and being the man you are... shirt or no shirt. Dr. Marc Abrams is a giant amongst giants. Generous and sincere. We are forever in your debt. Why we are here! Every hour of every day, someone dies of melanoma in the US. Melanoma strikes people of all ages, race, and economic level. One in 75 Americans will develop melanoma during their lifetime. Melanoma is the most highly preventable, and treatable if caught early. Please help start the awareness this particular cancer needs now more than ever. Of all of the various skin cancers, melanoma is known to be the most deadly if not caught in its earliest phases. Approximately 60,000 will be diagnosed with melanoma and 8,00 will die this year from melanoma. Melanoma is the fastest rising cancer it continues to receive less than 10% of the funding given to basic research of other cancers. In fact, funding for melanoma research is typically distributed to studies focused on treatments for other cancers in the hope that there might be benefit for the melanoma patient. This has been happening since the late 70’s and 80’s. We know that therapies effective for other cancers typically are not effective for the melanoma patient. Yet critical funds are expended in basic research that is over 20 years old and known to have little benefit to the melanoma community. To find new and more effective treatments, funding MUST be increased now. On behalf of the staff and Board of Directors, thank you for being a part of this event to benefit the Melanoma Research Foundation. Randy Lomax, Chair Linda Pilkington, Executive Director Tournament Co-Host Tournament Co-Host Kevin E. West Michael Moynahan “On January 4, 2003 I lost a 17year friend and became glaringly aware of how precious life is.“ You don’t have to have a spouse, kids or be old to realize...time is short. We hurry, we rush, and push to succeed...guilty as charged. But since the death of my friend...I’ve slowed just a hair, so that I won’t miss much from here on out. “I feel so honored to have been a part of Kerry’s life. I met him in 1987 and shared many of my most memorable life experiences with him and his family. I think about him everyday. I wish he could be here playing with us today (preferably in someone else’s foursome).’ He taught me so much in his living and in his dying. The love he shared with Mia, is but one shining example. Let’s play hard and enjoy every minute of it. Kerry would have wanted it that way. I hope you enjoyed the sky, the golf, the grass, and the laughs. Kerry would have liked that. I hope it brings you good cheer and back here...next year! Irish eyes are smiling on you.” “Oh, and Mia...he still owes me 20 bucks.” Event Coordinator Jenn Wilson Event Director Ron Ransen CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS Major Tee Gift Sponsors Nektar Metaphor, Inc.

Pat Long Rant n’ Rave Prods. Long, Williamson & Delis Kevin E. West Mike Moynahan The Actors’ Network The Beach Toys Christopher Gorham Hack n’ Smack 2009 Honoree 2009 Warrior of the Year! You’ll likely know Chris from his two years on ABC’s Ugly Betty, as America Ferrera’s love interest Henry Grubstick. Gorham, who now stars on CBS’s Harper’s Island, isn’t your regular Hollywood guy. He is probably one of the most gentle, genuine and giving people you’ll ever encounter in entertainment. He is a UCLA graduate, a husband and dedicated father. Chris has also been an important friend and supporter of the Hack n’ Smack and the Melanoma Research Foundation. In 2004, when the Hack n’ Smack commenced, we did not have any foundation or major people associated with the event and fundraising is quite difficult in such a competitive market. What we had, going all the way back to that time, was Christopher Gorham. At the time Chris was starring on Medical Investigation, then later on Out of Practice as well and he was our lone active Series Regular playing. When Chris arrived at the 3rd Annual Hack n’ Smack (2006) he had just begun his stint on Ugly Betty and it proved to be a banner year when he made a Holein-One on #16 in that year’s tournament. Chris has been willing to take interviews, reach out to fellow Celebs, and make sure that our event is in ink every year. Certainly it is commendable with any disease hits one’s family or dear friends and you carry a torch on their behalf. But in some ways, it is even more amazing when you choose to carry a torch without a direct association. We certainly hope that Melanoma never finds Chris, his family, or yours but if it ever does Christopher Gorham has unconditionally put in a great amount of love and time...to see that the Melanoma Research Foundation has funding for its future. Our Warrior of the Year is award-winning journalist Harold Greene, well known for his long, distinguished television news career in Southern California. Harold’s honors include 10 Golden Mike awards, seven Emmy awards; the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism Award, three Edward R. Murrow Awards, 12 L.A. Press Club Awards, and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Harold is also a melanoma survivor. Harold’s story: “I’ve been an outdoors person my whole life; training for and running marathons, surfing, golfing and all the other great things we can do under the sun just about all year long. As a TV News Anchor I covered plenty of stories about skin cancer and showed my viewers plenty of pictures of what to look for. As a red head I knew I was at risk but for the most part didn’t pay too much attention to the little moles that would pop up and in most cases go away. But about five years ago sitting on my long board in Del Mar I saw a nasty looking mole on my right thigh. It looked just like the bad ones in the pictures I had shown on the news. The next day I went to my dermatologist. He took a biopsy and a few days later the shocking news was relayed to me that it was Melanoma. Man, I freaked. But because I caught it early the cancer didn’t get into my blood stream and I didn’t need Chemo or radiation. If I hadn’t been monitoring myself on a more regular basis as I grew older the outcome would have been much different. Please, check yourself and your loved ones, because early detection will save your life.” A SPECIAL THANK YOU to the following individuals and corporations who have donated goods and services helping make our tournament a success.

West have been friends since 1992. Wayne was one of the first 20 members of The Actors’ Network way back inits infancy. They both shared a passion for golf (Wayne is better), snow skiing (Wayne is better), and acting. When Kerry was diagnosed in 1998 they found one more thing in Common…Melanoma. Wayne’s hits about as close to home as one can. Here’s his story. We are blessed to still have him with us. I am a two-time cancer survivor. My latest bout was with malignant melanoma. I found out about my first cancer diagnosis on my birthday in 1984—it was cancer of the muscle, Desmoid Sarcoma, and it was also malignant. They removed my right-top quadriceps and I had radiation treatments twice a day for three months. After a lot of pain, and rehab (and being told by doctors that I would never play sports again, which, by the way, I still do!) I’m fine, and VERY lucky. Wayne Benson I went to see the doctor told him my story. He showed me some pictures of what melanoma looks like, looked at my face and said it was nothing. I told him that I had cancer before in LA and was concerned. He asked me what I did in LA, and when I told him I was an actor he said, and I quote, “oh, so it’s a vanity thing.” I said no, it was because a friend new someone who had a similar looking mark on her face and she had died. “I’m a doctor and your friend is not, you believe whomever you want—your friend is wrong, that is not melanoma.” 5 days later, another call: still didn’t clear the margins. Dr. Altman told me if we didn’t clear the margins this time we would need to go to Mayo clinic for mosh surgery. We called Mayo just in case but hoped for the best with the third surgery. The third biopsy came back, we had cleared the margins(!) and once again I had (knock on wood) been extremely lucky and survived something that many people had not. Remember, the one thing I found to be true is that if a doctor tells you 30% of the people die, that means 70% live. The mind and body are powerful things and can go a long way to healing one’s self if you maintain a positive attitude. Yes, I am a 2-time cancer survivor and, depending on how you look at it, either very unlucky or lucky. I choose to believe the latter.
