Jeff and Jennifer Richards have volunteered at the Boeing Classic every year since the PGA TOUR Champions event started 12 years ago. And they are already looking forward to volunteering in late August for the 13th time.
Currently, he is a course marshal and she is chair of events. They enjoy being involved with professional golf and contributing to a great cause. "It feels good to support research for people with autoimmune diseases. I've been so impressed with the major strides that Virginia Mason and Benaroya Research Institute have made during the 16 years my wife has worked at Virginia Mason," said Jeff. "We couldn't be prouder of what they do."
