The Gift of Life 15th Annual Golf & Tennis Tournament will be held June 17 at the Lancaster Country Club (6061 Broadway, Lancaster) and the Village Glen Tennis Club (162 Mill Street, Williamsville).  A humanitarian project of Rotary International District 7090 with Rotary Clubs in Western New York and Southern Ontario, the Gift of Life provides life-saving open-heart surgery to children from the United States, Canada and other countries who have congenital heart defects.  All funds raised go directly to the life-saving care of children who otherwise could not afford it.  

Since the project began in 1993, Rotary District 7090 has saved 37 children suffering with congenital heart defects who would not have lived beyond their teen years.  The 67 Gift of Life projects around the world have saved over 15,000 children since 1975.
