FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz.,
Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunridge
International (OTC Bulletin Board: SNDZ), announced today that all
proceeds from the Luis Tiant Annual Golf Tournament will benefit
"Eyes for Cuba." This year's
annual tournament will be held at the Ferncroft Country Club, in
Middleton, MA on the 23rd of this
month.
The "Eyes for Cuba" relief
program is partnered by star baseball player Luis Tiant, Scientific Social Solutions Charity
(S3) of Boston, and Sunridge
International. The purpose of the drive is to raise money to
send much needed medical equipment and supplies to Cuba to treat glaucoma patients that may
otherwise go blind for the lack of other available treatment
options. Sunridge will send a medical team to Cuba to train doctors to perform its patented
two-minute, non-invasive glaucoma treatment Pneumatic
Trabeculoplasty (PNT). It will also ship and distribute
medical equipment and supplies, allowing local doctors to continue
to treat patients after the team has returned to the U.S.
"It is estimated that approximately 100 patients can be treated
for a full year with every $5,000 we
raise," states Larry Belcamino,
Director of S3.
"Glaucoma is a devastating disease throughout the Caribbean Islands, and we are very happy to
have the support of Luis Tiant and
his foundation to get some much needed help into the areas that
need it the most," states G. Richard
Smith, CEO of Sunridge International.
