"Our mission is to work ourselves out of business.”
- Doug English, President, Lone Star Paralysis Foundation
We are a dedicated group of people working hard to find a cure for spinal cord injury, and we will—this decade. We already have the people, the technology, the science—the missing ingredient is money. So help us during this “Decade of the Cure”.

31st Annual Lone Star Classic
The Lone Star Classic is a celebrity golf tournament that has supported spinal cord paralysis research since 1979. The event is not only a golf tournament, but one of the biggest parties of the year. The Classic kicks off with a "Party at the Ditch" at El Arroyo on West 5th Street. Clay McPhail knows how to throw a party and you never know who will show up to sign karaoke. Last year it was Neal McCoy and the year before Country Music legend Johnny Lee brought us back to the days of Urban Cowboy.
The golf tournament is hosted at the beautiful Onion Creek Club, founding home of the Legends of Golf. Teams are treated to a celebrity golfer on each team. Celebrities included former NFL Greats, comedians, actors and musicians.
The Award's Banquet & Comedy Show is world-class and will make your cheeks and your abdominals hurt for days. Bill Engvall and friends will entertain you and your guests to a comedy show that is beyond funny. The silent and live auction will keep you busy with auction items from local philanthropists that make every year exciting. Last year there was an autographed UT football helmet from the 2005 National Champions, a bass guitar autographed by Paul McCartney and a pin flag from the Master's signed by over 10 green jacket winners including Tiger Woods just to mention a few.
