Tee Up for Tots is a grassroots charity started by the parents of Courtney Zillman, who died of cancer at the age of four in 1999.
Jerry and Kathy Zillman have since dedicated their efforts to help other pediatric cancer patients and their families who find themselves in the same heartbreaking situation.
