PRESS RELEASE
HUNDREDS OF WYCLIFFE MEMBERS COME OUT TO “PLAY FOR P.I.N.K”
Friday, January 22 marked the kick-off of the annual Wycliffe Golf & Country Club two-day Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser. Over 250 members participated in tennis and golf events as well as a silent auction and luncheon with all proceeds to benefit the Play for P.I.N.K organization.
Breast Cancer Awareness is very important to our Wycliffe membership, as many of the members who participated have been directly affected by the disease. The tennis event held on Friday, January 22 had 30 participants and the golf event held on Tuesday, January 26 had over 180 participants all dressed in pink. Besides the 180 women, there were 15 men who volunteered their time for this great cause. Following the golf events on Tuesday, participants were able to bid on a variety of items being shown at a silent auction in the Club’s Grande Lounge. Items consisted of tickets for shows/sporting events, jewelry and handbags.
The closing event was a “Pink” luncheon in the Grande Dining Room. Members sipped on pink colored beverages and dined at tables adorned with pink accents and accessories. Laura Lassman, President & Founder of Play for P.I.N.K, and Stephanie Hamburger, Play for P.I.N.K Co-Director, both attended the Luncheon.
At the end of the day, Wycliffe raised close to $36,000.00 for the Play for P.I.N.K organization.
