Golf Classic Raises Funds for Adrenal Cancer Research in Millie Schembechler’s Name

At the Millie Schembechler Memorial Golf Classic last July, former U-M head football coach Bo Schembechler presented Cancer Center Director Max Wicha, M.D., with $300,000, the final installment of the Millie Schembechler Adrenal Cancer Research Fund. Eight annual golf tournaments in Ann Arbor were hosted by Bo Schembechler to raise money for the Fund, with a goal of $3.2 million. The Fund, with a current market value of more than $5 million, will endow a professorship and support adrenal cancer research. Millie Schembechler died from adrenal cancer in 1992.
