September 24th, 2007 Posted in Community, Press Releases

Habitec OpenOn September 23, Habitec Security hosted the second annual Jim Smythe Memorial Toledo Open Pro-Am.  Jim Smythe, the founder of Habitec, fought his battle with leukemia with courage and grace but lost his fight on June 17, 2006.  After being diagnosed with Leukemia, Jim received blood products weekly.

To raise awareness for the never-ending need of blood, the Toledo Open planning committee designated that the Red Cross Blood Services would be the beneficiaries. The funds will be used to purchase a new blood mobile for the Toledo community.

The Jim Smythe Memorial Pro-Am preceded the Habitec Security Toledo Open, a PGA sanctioned event.  Jim Smythe was instrumental in reviving the Toledo Open in 2001. Two of the winners in the past five years are currently on the PGA Tour, including the 2003 winner John Mills.

This year’s event featured 130 PGA Pro’s playing for a purse of $25,000. The 2007 winner of the Habitec Toledo Open was Anthony Zummo of Mayfield Heights, OH. Mr. Zummo shot 9 under for the 36 hole tournament.
