  Virginia Mason Medical Center. If you have a passion for golf or are interested in helping in any way, your time and energy
  will be valued and appreciated by all. I have volunteered for the tournament from 2005 through 2010 (and will be volunteering for 2011) and found the experience
  to be one of my most-rewarding ever. For details contact the Boeing Classic at:
