Mölnlycke Health Care was the Gold Sponsor of the Mats Wilander Tenth Annual Celebrity Tennis and Golf Classic, which took place on October 20, 2008 in Rye, New York.
The event benefited DebRA, a non-profit organization which raises funds and awareness for the devastating disease Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a genetic condition where the skin breaks at the slightest touch, causing painful, open blisters and wounds. EB can mean a life of extreme pain, disability and, at its worst it is fatal. At present, there is no specific treatment for EB. Current therapy is directed toward the prevention of skin trauma, prevention of infection, and the treatment of complications. Wilander founded the event in honor of his son, Erik, who has EB.
Please watch the enclosed video with highlights from the very successful event as well as hear what Mats Wilander, John McEnroe and others had to say about Mölnlycke, the event and EB.
