Former CBS News executive Jeff Fager joins organization founder Brock Greene to lead this year’s initiative, themed "Driving Research. Accelerating a Cure." The day kicks off at 11:30 a.m. with a tournament at the Country Club of New Canaan, concluding with an evening reception at the Fager residence. The event draws attention to a medical field that has seen no new approved treatments in two decades.
Since its 2014 inception, Oligo Nation has focused on bridging the funding gap for this specific form of brain cancer, which often receives less attention than more common tumor types. Fager, who serves as the nonprofit’s board chairman, emphasized the importance of community involvement, noting that the evening dinner remains a central opportunity for non-golfers to support the cause. Proceeds from the event are directed toward clinical research partnerships designed to move scientific discoveries into trials. Interested participants can find tickets and sponsorship details at the organization's official website.
