This fund raising project is targeted to be a contributing member of many other projects that assist with necessary funding to groups battling breast cancer.
Fall 2006 events included:
- Golf tournament ("Shamble" format) held over the 36-holes of North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh NC.
- Auction, also held at North Ridge.
The 2006 project was successful -- as a result of the participation of many people. Thank you!
Participation in future similar events may include your participating in the golf tournament, your donating item or items for the auction, sponsoring a men's or women/men mixed-team foursome, sponsoring a golf hole, becoming a Gold/Silver or Bronze level tournament sponsor, and/or your volunteering to assist with the planning/followup of the planned events -- and, helping with the event itself. We will always need your help!
This Web site is intended to be an assist to you by providing information that comes about as the time of the events approach, plus providing you a way to interact with us for any questions/ideas/comments or contributions such as items for the upcoming auction.
For 2007, we once again intend that near-100% of money raised in this project will be provided to an extremely important project: The Angel Fund, through The Rex Hospital Foundation. The Angel Fund will direct proceeds to benefit breast cancer and prostate cancer patients in Wake County. The monies will be used to pay for medicines, arrange transportation, purchase wigs and other items of a personal nature needed to support their recovery.
In the 2006 event the one-day (October 30, 2006) event resulted in a check of around $60,000 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. For information, some of the $60,000 was the result of:
- Silent and Live Auction: $15,000
- Quilt Raffle: $2,500
- Tribute: $4,000
- Sponsors and Golf Tournament: $35,000
- Pro Golf Shots (during the tournament): $1,600
(Approximate Sums)
Thank you, all!
