Annual Knapp Golf Classic Raises Research
Funds to Fight Huntington's Disease
By Jack A. Simpson
Former Cerritos and Lake Forest City Manager
Gaylord F. Knapp was lost to Huntington's
Disease on March 8, 2008. A Committee of
Gaylord's former colleagues and friends have
dedicated themselves to continue an effort to
help fund research to find a cure for this
devastating disease.
On Monday, June 14, 2010 the 11th Annual
Knapp Golf Classic Tournament was held at the
Western Hills Golf & Country Club in Chino Hills.
A preliminary tabulation shows that the
fundraising event raised between $15,000 and
$18,000 to be dedicated towards research to
find a Huntington's Disease cure. Through the
efforts of the committee, the tournament has
raised more than a quarter of a million dollars to
help Huntington's Disease research.
