Dexter, Missouri - 18 Fore Life is an amazing organization that has already helped so many people in our area when they are faced with the reality of cancer.  The 18 Fore Life Foundation is always looking for new ideas that they can pursue to continue with their goal of reaching a total of 1 million dollars given to area families.

Not very long ago Kerry Gilbow was thinking about what he could do to help the cause.  As he was brainstorming, he thought of where his strengths lay.  As a bricklayer, mason, and business man he came up with the idea to make granite plaques that a person or business could display to show their support of 18 Fore Life.  Mark Booker and Jim Rainey got on board to help with the planning of this fundraiser and it took off.

These desk plaques are made of solid granite. They are professionally made, beautiful pieces people could buy in support of the cause.  He sells them for $1075.00. With the purchase of one of these beautiful pieces $75 dollars goes to the materials and cost for etching.

"The wonderful thing about this project is that with the amount being donated being $1000 it can be designated specifically to a love offering for a family in need of relief from cancer expense.  In other words, a business or individual buys a desk plaque and the money they donated can go directly to someone they know or to the fund in general," commented Kerry Gilbow.

The Granite Desk Plaque Project, is going to allow 18 Fore Life to speed towards their mission of giving away the $1 Millionth dollar!

"Kerry Gilbow, Jim Rainey, and Mark Booker are incredible people.  They would do anything for anybody and it is an honor to have them on our 18 FORE Life team," commented 18 Fore Life co-founder Scott Kruse. "They have been part of what we do from the very start."

With everyone's help this organization can continue to give assistance to those families that are in need.  Sometimes a little bit of support and attention to peoples needs is all that they need to keep up their fight against this terrible disease.
