The 5th annual Breast Cancer Golf Tournament, “b fore pink” sponsored by Vera Cadillac/Buick/GMC has been scheduled for Friday, October 7, at Shula’s Golf Club, 7601 Miami Lakes Drive in Miami Lakes.
Pink is the color for breast cancer and all women are at risk with one in eight women diagnosed with breast cancer over their lifetime. However, early detection and a healthy lifestyle saves lives.
Proceeds from the 2016 “b fore pink” tournament will help fund the Women’s Breast and Heart Initiative’s (WBHI) efforts to reduce the incidence of undetected and untreated breast cancer.
WBHI, headquartered in Miami Lakes, provides breast health awareness, education, screening and referrals for underserved women through a targeted neighborhood door-to-door outreach intervention.
WBHI’s program has identified breast cancer higher than the national average, which not only saves women’s lives, but also taxpayer dollars.
The event gets underway with registration at 10:30 a.m., lunch at 11 a.m. and the scramble tournament at noon, followed by an awards ceremony, entertainment, auction, dinner and cocktails.
A variety of sponsorships for the tournament are available for businesses and individuals.
