“I’ve had a lot of friends that have played and have said, ‘Hey you’ve got to get up to Portland, it’s an amazing cause for the Dempsey Center and the Barbara Bush Hospital,’ so I just think, ‘What better way to raise awareness and what more fun way to raise awareness than to play golf in this event?’” Leadbetter said.
“I’m from here, so I know how special Portland is, but it’s amazing, like Michael Peña, the actor came two years ago, he’s actually shooting a movie and got out of it for four days to come back, and that’s really cool that people come to see Portland, the celebrities, and are blown away and want to come back,” Caron said.
