"Paige and I are thrilled to be part of the Getzlaf Golf Shootout. When we embarked on this journey with CureDuchenne nine years ago we had no idea we would make such a strong impact. To date, the event has helped raise nearly $2.5 million to help find a cure for Duchenne. The funds raised go directly to CureDuchenne investments into promising science that move the needle closer and closer to a cure every day. We could not be prouder," said Ryan Getzlaf. "Duchenne is a devastating disease that cuts short the lives of boys and young men around the world, and we want to do everything we can to help find a cure."

"The Getzlafs, Ducks players and management have been incredibly generous by lending their support to this event and we are grateful. Funds raised over the years have been crucial in our quest to find a cure for Duchenne," said Debra Miller, founder and CEO, CureDuchenne. "With scientific developments in gene therapy and gene editing advancing quickly around the world, every dollar raised and invested into cutting edge science makes a big difference, and we look forward to continuing to work with the fantastic team that make the Getzlaf Golf Shootout a success."
