Presented by Craig Melvin and Lindsay Czarniak
Craig and Lindsay are delighted to host The Bottoms Up Invitational again to benefit the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. In addition to being an anchor for NBC News and a host of The Today Show, Craig proudly sits on the Alliance’s Board of Directors. Craig lost his brother, Lawrence Meadows, to colon cancer at the age of 43 just three years ago.
This golf tournament is a way to honor Lawrence and advance the Alliance’s cause. We can get more people screened, help patients navigate treatment, and fund innovative research to end this disease once and for all. We’re looking forward to our next outing of connecting with friends old and new.
