for Pediatric Cancer Research

The second annual Kate Kombo Golf and Pickleball Tournament held by the Kate Amato Foundation is just around the corner on Oct. 11 at The Yards in Sawgrass.

Jacksonville Beach residents, Lisa and Jeff Amato lost their daughter Kate, at the young age of 11 in November of 2016, after a long and difficult battle with cancer. Through her illness, Kate’s parents discovered how severely underfunded research is for pediatric cancer and witnessed first-hand the brutal effects of outdated, toxic treatments. To honor Kate’s life and continue the fight for other children, the Kate Amato Foundation was formed.
