Andrea and Kevin Marner hosted the 4th Annual Quad Cities Fragile X Golf Outing on Saturday, June 24th, to benefit the National Fragile X Foundation. And this year’s fundraiser was the most successful yet! With a sold out event, including 34 teams and record support from sponsors, the Marner family and their friends raised $12,000 for the NFXF!
The amazing food provided was 100% donated, prepared and served by their new neighbors, Laco and Anna Marquez. Wow what generosity!
Thank you to their sponsors for making the event possible:
The golf outing has also connected the Fragile X community in our area. Our son Reid met another young man with Fragile X named Eli, whose family and friends came in support by creating 4 teams this year, led by his parents Chad and Julie.

Thank you to Andrea and Kevin Marner – and to all of your golf guests, donors, and sponsors over past four years – for making an incredible impact for the Fragile X community!
