All proceeds from this tournament are donated to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Along with the playing golf, there is a heartwarming ceremony at the onset of the tournament. People are encouraged to purchase flags for $10 each in either memory of or recognition of a friend or family member. These pink flags surround the ninth green of GOCC and prior to tee off, all of the names are read aloud followed by a moment of silence.

This year the committee is selling “Save the ta-tas” T-shirt for $15. There are many other baskets of donations that are available by raffles as well as sponsorships from $50 to $750.

This event last year raised over $14,000. Sponsorship donations will be accepted at Glen Oak Country Club.
