Pam Miller was born into a large family on May 22, 1960. Her strength was tested and revealed at a young age when she contracted polio. With the help of Kosair Charities, Pam walked again. She was known for her grit, positive attitude, smile, and huge heart. Many who knew her loved her for her sense of humor; she always had everyone laughing. In 2005 Pam began her long, hard-fought battle with breast cancer. With the love and support of her friends, family and longtime boyfriend Frank Pack, Pam lived five more long, beautiful years. Pam never wanted her life to be defined by breast cancer, and to those who knew her, it never was. Instead it was defined by the people whose lives she touched along the way. Pam was a Kosair Kid, therefore friends and family members found it fitting to donate all proceeds of the golf scramble to Kosair Charities. Team openings are available for $260, and individual for $65. Hole sponsorships start at $75. For those wishing to support the scramble but unable to participate in the scramble, join us for lunch $10 and raffle prizes following the scramble.

As a child, Walker was a patient at Kosair Crippled Children’s Hospital. Now in his 70s, Walker wanted to return the favor and decided to do it the only way he knows how, with music! Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy the music. For more information, contact Karen Ernspiker at (502) 637-7696. 2012-05-19T12:27:31+00:00
