Piedmont Furniture Club will hold its 26th annual golf tournament at Colonial Country Club in Thomasville, N.C.
This year the Piedmont Furniture Club, a local division of the Virginia/Carolinas Chapter of the International Home Furnishings Representatives Association, will honor Christine OConnor DesVergers, daughter of Madeline and Kevin OConnor of Samson Marketing, with a donation to Brenner Childrens Hospital to support pediatric oncology research. Christine was 31 and the mother of two small children when she was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. In 2004 Team Christine was created to raise money for the Koman Foundations Race for the Cure. With 100-plus members they raised over $160,000. In 2011, at age 38, Christine lost her battle with cancer. This year the Piedmont Furniture Club is honoring Christine DesVergers for her courage and motivation to others during her struggle.
