Andrea and Kevin Marner hosted the 5th Annual Quad Cities Fragile X Golf Outing on Saturday, June 22, to benefit the National Fragile X Foundation. Yet again, this year’s fundraiser was the most successful yet, with a record 35 teams — making it the first time they filled all available holes with teams. Check out the pics below!
In all, they raised $15,000 for the NFXF this year!
They also had returning sponsors and many new sponsors, including partnering with Harmony BioSciences to provide information to anyone wanting to know more about their clinical trial in Fragile X syndrome.

The yearly fundraiser has been a huge success over the years, and the NFXF community is forever grateful for the hard work of the Marner family, friends, and supporters. Andrea and Kevin’s family recently grew to include their baby girl Remi. With their larger family, including their boys, who are getting older and more involved in school and other activities, they have decided to take a break and will not host a 2025 golf outing. From all of us here at the NFXF, we thank the Marner family from the bottom of our hearts and look forward to hearing what they’re up to next!
Thank you to Andrea and Kevin Marner — and all of your guests, donors, and sponsors over the past five years — for making such an incredible impact on the Fragile X community!
The National Fragile X Foundation promotes advocacy, provides education, advances research, improves treatment, and champions the estimated 1.5 million individuals with the Fragile X premutation and up to 100,000 Americans living with the full mutation, Fragile X syndrome.
