Last  year's funds went towards helping Shawn Blankenship.  Shawn is an incredibly caring nurse's aide. He was diagnosed with 111A Adenocarcinoma of the lung. He underwent surgery and was getting four rounds of chemotherapy. He had not been able to work since the surgery and the Chemotherapy had him so weak that he was not strong enough to go back to work. Due to extenuating circumstances, Shawn was in jeopardy of being evicted in addition to owing on other bills and leaving him with no reserve. Funds raised at last year's Betterment Golf Tournament helped Shawn with his bills so he could get back on his feet.
