Three Little Birds Foundation

Three Little Birds Foundation is a non-profit organization that advocates for patients and families who are diagnosed with Lymphedema and Lymphatic disorders. Their mission is to educate and advocate for patients suffering from lymphatic diseases and raise money for the compression band fund. The compression band fund is intended to help patients obtain compression supplies that are required to treat chronic Lymphedema.

Lymphedema is an under-recognized disease affecting 3 to 5 million men, women, and children in the United States of America. Their team of committed volunteers in the DC-metro area sponsors a range of fund-raising events and advocacy programs for those patients and families suffering from this rare disease.

The event’s inception is intended to grow the game of golf by providing high-performing players in the Washington, D.C. metro area with an opportunity to compete against top talent from across the world.

Proceeds from the tournament will help support the Three Little Birds program which advocates for patients and families diagnosed with chronic lymphedema and helps fund required and critical compression supplies, often not covered by insurance.
