For early detection. For the protection of all women. October 2, 2026 · Grass Clippings, Tempe, AZ Become a Sponsor Lynne's Story Lynne Trobaugh was the person who made you feel like a lifelong friend instantly — the woman who'd take Black Diamond ski runs in the morning, break out air guitar to The Rolling Stones at night, and remember everyone else's birthday before her own. We lost her to ovarian cancer in January 2026. On October 2nd at Grass Clippings, her family, friends, and community are coming together to support TGen's ovarian cancer early-detection research — raising every dollar we can so more women survive it. About Lynne 69 years of more wattage than most manage in twice that time. Born in Los Angeles in October 1956, she met her husband Jim — Troby to almost everyone — at Arizona State, and they were married for 46 adventurous years. Together they raised two daughters and welcomed two granddaughters. She built a career in radio sales and then, for more than 15 years, as a sought-after fashion stylist whose taste, warmth, and bottomless laugh made every client a friend. What set Lynne apart wasn't just the wattage — it was where she pointed it. Her concern was almost always for someone else: the friend who needed checking on, the kid who needed a ride, the cause that needed a hand. She fought ovarian cancer for 2½ years with the same grace and selflessness that defined the rest of... About Lynne For Lynne. For early detection. For the protection of all women. Lynne Trobaugh lived 69 years with more wattage than most people manage in twice that time. Born in Los Angeles in October 1956, she met her husband Jim — Troby to almost everyone — at Arizona State, and they were married for 46 adventurous years. Together they raised two daughters and welcomed two granddaughters. Lynne loved her family fiercely. She built a successful career first in radio sales and then, for more than 15 years, as a sought-after fashion stylist whose taste, warmth, and bottomless laugh made every client a friend. She had a rare gift for making strangers feel like lifelong friends instantly. She skied Park City's Black Diamond ski runs, sailed the Caribbean, drank Mai Tais with her toes in the sand at St. Thomas, and could be counted on to break out a legendary air guitar at any party — especially when The Rolling Stones came on. What set Lynne apart wasn't just the wattage — it was where she pointed it. Her concern was almost always for someone else. She joined Delta Gamma at Arizona State, where she made friends she'd keep for the rest of her life. She taught Sunday School at Paradise Valley United Methodist Church and was deeply involved in PTA and school activities at Hopi Elementary and Ingleside Middle School in support of her daughters. She was a beloved member of the Desert Foundation Auxiliary for many years —...

Be part of the day Register to Play Non-Golfer Cocktail Hour Why This Matters Early detection changes everything. Ovarian cancer can happen to any woman. It is one of the hardest cancers to catch early — but when it is caught early, it saves lives. 93% 5-year survival rate when ovarian cancer is caught early. 1 in 91 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in her lifetime. 1/5 Funding for women's health research is one-fifth that of men's health. The research we are funding The Ovarian Cancer Screening & Early Detection Initiative Early detection of ovarian cancer has been nearly impossible: initial symptoms like bloating and abdominal pain are easy to miss or dismiss, and the standard screening tools aren't sensitive enough to flag the disease before it progresses. TGen researchers have identified unique biological signatures in standard Pap smears and blood that can reliably distinguish ovarian cancer patients from healthy individuals. Philanthropic funding from the Lynne Trobaugh Golf Classic will expand the clinical trial of this Pap smear and blood test, reaching more patients across Arizona and the Southwest — validating those unique signatures to detect cancer at its earliest and most treatable stage, for both initial diagnoses and relapses. If these trials prove successful, ovarian cancer could be detected with the same Pap smear a woman already gets at her annual exam — something that hasn't been done before — reaching women early enough to be treated effectively and allowing them to continue living their lives to the fullest. Help fund the breakthrough Every dollar raised supports this...
