Honoring Phil’s Legacy Through Golf and Giving
On October 20, 2025, just 15 months after Phil Orsini lost his courageous battle with kancer, his life was honored in an unforgettable way at the inaugural Phil Orsini Memorial Golf Kancer Jam—better known as #OrsiniJam.
Despite blustering cold and wind, a sold-out field of 152 golfers showed up for a day of competition, camaraderie, and tribute. Another 100 friends and family members joined for an evening of dinner, live music, and raffles. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, and attendees, the event raised over $106K, which enabled us to donate nearly $45,000 to the Jam Kancer in the Kan Foundation.
But what mattered most couldn’t be measured……..
Seeing that many people show up—laughing, telling stories, and supporting one another —was something his family will never forget. For Phil’s family and especially his wife and daughters, it was a powerful reminder that they’re not carrying this loss alone, and that Phil’s impact continues to live on in the community he loved so much.
And we’re just getting started…….
This year, we’re proud to bring back #OrsiniJam—continuing a tradition that honors Phil, unites our community and supports families affected by a kancer diagnosis. While #OrsiniJam will feature many of the traditional elements of a golf outing, it will once again be imbued with many things that capture Phil’s spirit.
We hope you’ll join us for another incredible day of golf, community, and impact.
In short, while we are indeed raising money for an important cause, we will be doing it in true Phil fashion where we’ll have one big party to celebrate and remember our beloved friend.
Proceeds from #OrsiniJam will once again enable us to honor Phil by awarding “Play 4 Phil” Scholarships and helping others similarly affected by brain kancer and other diagnoses via the Jam Kancer in the Kan Foundation, a local charity that has supported our family both during Phil’s battle and after his passing.” – Jill Orsini
