Pink Out!

Carole Schumacher

The PebbleCreek Ladies Golf Association (PCLGA) Cancer Awareness Tournament Chairwomen, Ellen Enright and Margaret Dlouhy, announced the theme for the 2024 annual fundraiser is “Pink Out.”

The flighted afternoon scramble is scheduled for Jan. 23 on the Tuscany Falls courses and will be for bragging rights only. All money raised this year will be donated to the Little Pink Houses of Hope (www.littlepink.org).

Little Pink Houses of Hope empowers breast cancer patients and families to live each day to the fullest, with direction, purpose, and hope for the cancer journey. Little Pink provides free, week-long vacation retreats for patients and their families. While retreats offer a much-needed respite from schedules dictated by medical appointments and the heavy burden of healthcare bills, the real value of retreats is in the supportive environment that helps families rediscover hope and joy. Participants reconnect and cultivate relationships with each other and with volunteers and other families.

The organization was founded by breast cancer survivor Jeanine Patten-Coble in 2009 shortly after receiving her diagnosis. She will join the PCLGA ladies for the tournament and will share her story and vision for Little Pink during our evening meal following the tournament at the Tuscany Falls Ballroom.

Each year we honor those we lost and those who battle and survive this dreadful disease with a beautiful Pinwheel Honor Garden, which will be on display the day of the tournament at Tuscany Falls (open to all residents and the public). As in past years, we will raffle off amazing baskets donated by PCLGA members, hold a 50/50 raffle, and accept donations for our chosen charity. Everyone is a winner that day!

If you cannot play golf, please sign up to attend the evening meal or drop off your donation with a check payable to the Little Pink Houses of Hope. Remember to wear pink and learn more about this amazing organization!
