Tee Up Fore the Cure Brochure

History of Tee Up Fore the Cure Diabetes research is a cause close to the heart of the Leef family and ITU AbsorbTech. George L. Leef, ITU AbsorbTech’s second generation president, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1929, shortly after the

discovery of insulin.With the help of exercise and diet management, George lived a full life with the aid of hundreds of thousands of blood checks and shots. He suffered from diabetic neuropathy for years before passing away in 2007. During his lifetime he generously gave to diabetes research. He was a kind and devoted family man who gave so much to all those who had the privilege of knowing him. In honor of George’s love of the game, the first Tee Up Fore the Cure was played in 2006. It was a modest start on a cold fall day where 72 players helped raise $7,000 for type 1 diabetes research. In 2016,Tee Up Fore the Cure partnered with Milwaukee Brewers pitching great, Ken Sanders, to add many new dimensions to Tee Up, including celebrity golfers. Robin Yount was Tee Up’s first featured celebrity for the 10th anniversary celebration followed by fellow Hall of Famer, Rollie Fingers, in 2017 and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Dave Robinson in 2018.The event has grown to 230 players and has raised more than $400,000 for local type 1 diabetes research to date.

The Blue Circle Fund supports specific needs for type 1 diabetes research in southeastern Wisconsin. Donations for the Fund are raised through various events and on-course challenges at Tee Up Fore the Cure. In 2018, the Fund met its goal to purchase a vital piece of equipment the Max McGee National Research Center for Juvenile Diabetes at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin now uses to track genetic activity related to type 1 diabetes susceptibility.The Fund has helped the Max McGee Center make significant progress towards a better understanding of and eventually a cure for type 1 diabetes. Thanks to all who contributed! The blue circle is the universal symbol for diabetes, representing unity and strength. Blue Circle Fund “As a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, I faced countless big hitters and held records for games saved and closed. But throughout my ten year pitching career in the Major Leagues, no hit was as hard as the day type 1 diabetes delivered a blow to my grandson, Andrew. Today I want to face this big hitter and close out type 1 diabetes once and for all. Please join Andrew and me at Tee Up Fore the Cure.With you on our All Star Team we can win this game against type 1 diabetes!”
