2010 marks the fourth year that the Teva Championship is held in our area and the third year that the event will be held in Mason, OH at the Golf Center at Kings Island.  The Grizzly Course, the home of the LPGA Championship for 12 years, has proven to be an exciting venue for the ladies of the Duramed FUTURES Tour.

The Teva Championship is one event on the Duramed FUTURES Tour.  Now in its 29th season, the Duramed FUTURES Tour has established itself as “the Road to the LPGA and Beyond,” and since 1999, it has been designated as the official developmental tour of the LPGA. More than 300 Duramed FUTURES Tour alumnae are LPGA members, and through 2007, alums have won a total of 330 LPGA victories and 35 major championships. Last year, tour alums won 15 of 32 LPGA tournaments and two of the four major championships.

The Duramed FUTURES Tour annually awards automatic status to the top ten players on the Tour’s official money list.
The charitable partner of the Teva Championship is National Multiple Sclerosis, Ohio Valley Chapter. The Ohio Valley Chapter provides a wealth of programs, fund-raisers, activities, and services for 27 counties in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky for people who have multiple sclerosis, their families, and friends. Our goal is to develop programs and services that provide knowledge, health, and independence. The objective is always to empower the person with MS to lead a productive and fulfilling life.

The Ohio Valley Chapter strives to achieve its mission by helping people with MS in the following ways:

The chapter is a local extension of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s 50-state network of 63 chapters.

The mission of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) is to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis. We achieve our mission through delivery of programs and services to people with MS and their families and through support of research into the cause and cure of MS. Our activities are made possible through private grants, sponsorships, and fund-raising campaigns.
