“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!

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.

“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.”

Hack n’

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 Survivor’s Story
Wayne Benson and Kevin E. 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. Wayne Benson
