Golf Tournament Raises Research Money For Rare Disease Impacting Green Country Child

Several Green Country golfers got together at Cherokee Hills Golf Course in Catoosa for a cause on Sunday.

The Annual Remi Cup raises money for research for Angelman Syndrome.

It's a rare genetic disorder that comes with developmental delays, seizures and loss of speech.

The event is named after Remi, a local girl living with the disorder.

Remi's family says she's making big strides and has learned to walk, run, ride a tricycle and communicate through sign language.

The goal was to raise $50,000 for her nonprofit.
