The 10th Annual Billy Mill Charity Golf Classic sponsored by The Junior Woman's Club of Lexington and the Mill Family, to benefit Children's Chance, was held on Monday, May 21, 2007 at The Country Club of Lexington located at 1066 Barr Road in Lexington, S.C.

George Rogers, the 1980 Heisman Trophy winner from USC, and David Mobley, the World's Longest Drive Champion, assisted the Mill family in raising over $50,000 to help children with cancer and their families in South Carolina.

George Rogers was on hand to "out drive" the golfers and raise some extra cash for Children's Chance. Rogers has been an avid supporter of the Billy Mill Golf Tournament over the past 10 years and knows the devastation cancer can bring to a family. He is a good friend of the Mill family who lost a father to cancer over 10 years ago. Rogers took some time out to pose for pictures and show onlookers his Heisman Trophy.

Stuart Morgan, father of a child with cancer, and Children's Chance Board Member said, "I was honored to have my picture taken with this USC football legend. He is a great guy. Everyone had a great time, and the money raised will go a long way toward helping families across S.C. who are struggling to deal with the hardships of pediatric cancer".

David Mobley was also on hand to lend his support and help kids like Joel Romero. David took a few minutes between swings to encourage pediatric cancer survivor Joel Romero. Mobley shared some golf tees and tips with the nine- year- old who is an eight- year can cer survivor. Mobley was quite impressed to see Romero, who is paralyzed in both legs from the knees down, hit a golf ball over 200 yards.

Children's Chance is a non- profit organization dedicated to meeting the financial, psychological, and emotional needs of S.C. children and families affected by pediatric cancer. Proceeds from the Billy Mill Golf Classic will fund a variety of programs including discretionary funds, which provide financial assistance for non- medical bills, and Angel Funds that provide gas and food cards. Proceeds will also go towards counseling, teen support groups, and special events to assist families dealing with a child diagnosed with cancer during treatment, and hopefully recovery.
