The SagerStrong Foundation will host its fourth "Living Out Loud" Golf Tournament Monday, October 11,2021 at Hawks Ridge Golf Club in Ball Ground, Georgia. The tournament, originally created in 2016 by the late sports broadcaster, Craig Sager and his wife, Stacy, to support the mission of the SagerStrong Foundation, gives hope where it is needed most by the families dealing with a blood cancer diagnosis.

Craig Sager was a Turner Sports Broadcaster and NBA Sideline Reporter, known for his colorful suits and ties, with a personality to match. Sager succumbed to cancer in 2016. Stacy and Craig Sager started the SAGERSTRONG Foundation in the hope that, one day, leukemia patients and their families will never have to go through the battle they have endured. The mission of the SAGERSTRONG Foundation is to give hope to those who need it most.

The Living Out Loud Golf Tournament – a four-person scramble format Shotgun start Monday, October 11 at 11:00 am –- will feature a great day of golf in a beautiful setting at Hawks Ridge Golf Course, with cool contests and proximity prizes awarded, a post golf awards ceremony with a light dinner, a silent auction with unique experiences and sports memorabilia, and more. This year’s tournament proceeds will fund clinical trials and cancer research for Leukemia and other blood cancers.
