As his career progressed, and after 15 years in remission, while handling his responsibilities at Pine Barrens Golf Club, his Cancer returned in 2016.

DeMarco is also an active supporter of DetecTogether, a foundation dedicated to early detection of Cancers. He believes that if he is able to help just one person through his endeavors, it is all worth it.DeMarco will be honored on Tuesday, Nov. 1, as part of the 2022 PGA Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.
