GOAL FOR 2018

After eleven years of hard work and tremendous support we have again hit the ground running and are hoping to raise a record-setting $300,000 this year. Our contribution to Baptist Medical Center Beaches will help purchase a PET/CT scanner for the Wilson Cancer Center. Currently, PET scans are only offered one day per week via a mobile unit. This type of scan has proven particularly useful in evaluating a patient’s response to therapy, specifically, chemotherapy for locally advanced breast carcinoma and metastatic disease, reassessing breast cancer stages, and problem solving when conventional imaging results are vague or ambiguous.

Our contribution to Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville will continue to support The Jacoby Center for Breast Health. Our support enables the team at Mayo to utilize funds for patients and research that is being conducted in patients and through the clinic. This includes filling unmet needs and bringing patients innovative and new therapies, such as increasing DigniCap Service (an FDA-approved scalp cooling system that reduces chemotherapy-induced hair loss in patients with breast cancer), supporting clinical trials (that include the ongoing study of anti-estrogen therapy), and enhancing the acupuncture and massage pilot study (each highly sought after services).

To learn more about our contributions over the past eleven years, please see the information offered in the About Us section of our website.

Each year, the all-volunteer Pink Ribbon Golf Classic Committee reviews and then chooses where donated funds will go based on requests made by Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville and Baptist Medical Center Beaches. We work tirelessly to minimize expenses – achieving a remarkably low expense to income percentage of 13% in 2017. Join us in the fight against breast cancer and attend one or all of our events. Become a partner, sponsor or friend.  Donate your time and/or talent. We could not do what we do without you! Many, many thanks.
