The 13th Annual Nick Oelrich "Gift of Life" Golf Classic

The purpose of the "Gift of Life" foundation is to promote organ and tissue donation.

The event is named after State Senator and former Sheriff Stephen M. Oelrich’s son, Nick, an organ and tissue donor, who saved or enhanced the lives of one hundred and eight people. Each year, the Nick Oelrich “Gift of Life” Golf Classic enables us to remember Nick Oelrich and the great contribution of life he made.




This year’s contributions will benefit the Pediatric Transplant Program at Shands Children’s Hospital. Shands Children's Hospital at the University of Florida is the only comprehensive pediatric facility in north-central Florida. This children's hospital-within-a-hospital has pediatric programs encompassing general pediatrics, primary care, and all the pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties.
