Luis Tiant Golf Classic to aid 'Eyes for Cuba'

FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunridge International (OTC Bulletin Board: SNDZ), announced today that all proceeds from the Luis Tiant Annual Golf Tournament will benefit "Eyes for Cuba."  This year's annual tournament will be held at the Ferncroft Country Club, in Middleton, MA on the 23rd of this month.  

The "Eyes for Cuba" relief program is partnered by star baseball player Luis Tiant, Scientific Social Solutions Charity (S3) of Boston, and Sunridge International.  The purpose of the drive is to raise money to send much needed medical equipment and supplies to Cuba to treat glaucoma patients that may otherwise go blind for the lack of other available treatment options.  Sunridge will send a medical team to Cuba to train doctors to perform its patented two-minute, non-invasive glaucoma treatment Pneumatic Trabeculoplasty (PNT).  It will also ship and distribute medical equipment and supplies, allowing local doctors to continue to treat patients after the team has returned to the U.S.

"It is estimated that approximately 100 patients can be treated for a full year with every $5,000 we raise," states Larry Belcamino, Director of S3.

"Glaucoma is a devastating disease throughout the Caribbean Islands, and we are very happy to have the support of Luis Tiant and his foundation to get some much needed help into the areas that need it the most," states G. Richard Smith, CEO of Sunridge International.
