Golf Tournament Volunteers Needed

The Constellation Energy Classic returns this fall at Hayfields Country Club in Hunt Valley, Sept. 27 to Oct. 3. Volunteers can join golf legends Tom Watson, Larry Nelson and Peter Jacobson while helping the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins.

The center is a unique collaboration of scientists worldwide, working aggressively to develop new treatments and a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Other charities benefiting from the event include the Kennedy Krieger Institute, Living Classrooms Foundation and Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

Hopkins is recruiting people to act as marshals for the event. These positions place volunteers inside the ropes with the players and are critical to the success of the tournament. Contact Mike Renwick at renwick@jhu.edu or 410-516-4419 for an application. (Give JHU as your affiliation.)
