Jess Parrish Medical Foundation (JPMF) has announced the law firm of Zumpano
Patricios & Winker, P.A. as presenting sponsors for the annual Fran
Gerrett Memorial Golf Classic on Friday, April 21. More than 220 golfers

benefiting The Children’s Center (TCC), a service of Parrish Healthcare,
which provides children with developmental delays and other disabilities
a safe and healing environment to learn and grow.
“It is our honor to be the presenting sponsors of the Fran Gerrett
Memorial Golf Classic for the third year. Providing health, education,
and care for families and children with and without special needs, is
of vital importance to the community. The Fran Gerrett Memorial Golf Classic
is a wonderful show of support for TCC’s education, therapy, and
tutoring programs,” said Joseph I. Zumpano, shareholder at Zumpano
Patricios & Winker, P.A.
Registration begins at noon, with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Tournament

their preferred course on a first-come, first-served basis with paid registration.
The tournament format will be a four-player scramble with fun contests,
including a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize when purchasing a raffle
ticket for $20. Participants need not be present to win. Winners will
be announced immediately following the awards ceremony.

classic is organized by community leaders and volunteers. Event co-chairs
