Governors Club announces its annual All for the Pink charity event raised a record-breaking $126,000 for Pretty In Pink Foundation, whose mission is to provide uninsured and under-insured breast cancer patients in NC financial assistance for life-saving medical treatment. The action-packed 2-day event was held May 3-4, 2023, in which Governors Club members and guests participated in tennis, pickleball, and golf matches, and attended a gala party featuring a live auction and raffles donated by club members, employers, businesses and staff.
“We are so grateful for the generosity of the Governors Club community in supporting our North Carolina breast cancer champions. Their commitment to the health and well-being of our community is truly lifesaving. Since partnering with Governors Club, the funds they have raised over the last few years has enabled us to help so many more patients in need,” said Becky Horn, Executive Director, Pretty In Pink Foundation.
“Since 1999, the Governors Club Women’s Golf Association has been hosting fundraising events to support breast cancer organizations. As the chairperson of this year’s fundraiser, I applaud the All for the Pink committee, volunteers and club staff who tirelessly devoted their time and energy to planning and executing the event. As so many of us have loved ones that have been affected by breast cancer, it is heartwarming to see the Governors Club community-wide support for North Carolina breast cancer patients in need. On behalf of our All for the Pink planning committee, thank you for the generosity of the Governors Club members, staff, and businesses who have made this year’s fundraiser a record-breaking success,” said Marge Coakley, Chairperson Governors Club All for the Pink event.
