Spectrum Pension Consultants Inc. is proud to host the Spectrum Open Charity Golf Tournament and Dinner Event each summer at Fircrest Golf Club, Fircrest, Washington.

The Spectrum Open debuted in September 2006, following the untimely passing of Spectrum’s founder Panayotis “Pano” Koumantaros in December 2005. The event celebrates Pano’s love of life, golf, and good food and wine.

All proceeds from the tournament benefit the Pano Koumantaros Cancer Research Fund, administered by The Franciscan Foundation of Franciscan Health Systems, Tacoma, Washington.

The 2011 golf tournament raised over $125,000. To date the monies collected from the Spectrum Open and other memorial contributions total over $700,000. This includes: 

• $50,000 raised specifically to cover the costs associated with dedicating a room at St. Joseph Medical Center, Tacoma, in Pano’s memory,
• 19 Sleeper Chairs outfitting the entire oncology unit at St. Joseph,
• $48,000 for new equipment, including a bladder scanner, for the oncology unit at St. Joseph,
• Plus $63,000 for the South Sound C.A.R.E. Foundation specifically for Cancer Research Clinical Trials.
