You First Foundation Golf Event Raises $20,000 to Support Brain Injury

Victims and Their Families

Houston, TX, October 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The You First Foundation raised more than $20,000 in its
third annual Wendy Kwan Memorial charity golf tournament. The tournament is held in honor of Wendy
Kwan, a young mother who died in 2014 unexpectedly from an undetected brain aneurysm.

The tournament was held at the BlackHorse Golf Club in Cypress October 20. Wendy's husband, Ken
Lee, and their two children were honorary guests at the tournament. Lee is also a board member of the
You First Foundation.

The You First Foundation is a Houston-based non-profit that provides support to individuals and families
that have suffered a traumatic brain injury. The foundation was formed by Wendy Kwan's co-workers at
First Service Credit Union following her tragic death.

You First will use the money raised through the golf tournament to provide scholarships for brain injury
victims' children and to contribute to local neurointensive care centers and causes.

"As part of our effort to support people affected by traumatic brain injuries and those dedicated
individuals researching them, the money raised from this annual tournament is very important, said
David Bleazard, chairman of the You First Foundation and President of First Service Credit Union. "This
is our biggest single fund-raiser of the year, and we appreciate all the players and donors who helped
make it a success."
