More than 80 golfers turned out for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) of North Florida’s 12^th annual Sixty-Five Roses Golf Tournament at the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club on Nov. 5. Tournament participants enjoyed a day of golfing and fellowship, followed by an awards ceremony with silent auction where nearly 150 guests were in attendance. In spite of inclement weather on Nov. 7 that forced the cancellation of the companion tennis tournament, the event has currently raised $75,000 with more donations expected.
