LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. -- Friends of the Brown’s Foundation (www.teambrown.org) a Lakewood Ranch, Florida, non-profit is underwriting 5 year-old golf phenomenon Kyle Lograsso’s attendance at the PGA Show in Orlando this week. Golf pros who have seen Kyle play say his natural ability and golf swing make Kyle a true prodigy in the sport. Kyle and his dad, Jeff, will travel from Pennsylvania to receive the Bruce Edwards Spirit award on Friday January 18th bestowed by the Professional Caddies Association. Mr. Edwards, Tom Watson’s caddy for over 30 years, died after a long battle with ALS.

Young Kyle is no stranger to cancer. While the toddler became fixated on the Golf Channel, his parents noticed a white circle around his eye which was diagnosed as life threatening. He had retinoblastoma, which affects fewer than 250 children annually. Kyle now lives with a prosthetic eye and continues to play.

“Because Kyle is a cancer survivor and a budding golfer, we felt donating his travel and hotel to receive this prestigious award was something we should support and we’re looking forward to meeting a truly inspiring child,” said Arthur Brown, President of Friends of the Brown’s Foundation which is devoted to providing support and financial assistance for families of children fighting cancer. Brown’s oldest son, Alex, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in August 2006. Since that time, the Browns have created a non-profit foundation committed to helping other families going through similar experiences.
