In a nutshell
The Pink Ribbon Golf Classic is an all volunteer, non-profit event that was created to raise funds for local breast cancer research and related services at Baptist Medical Center Beaches and Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville. In our community alone, over 500 women and men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. As volunteers working to support both of these fine institutions, our goal for 2014 is to raise at least $150,000. By reaching our goal we can continue to help Baptist Medical Center Beaches and Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville further their efforts, as they lead the way in local research and provide the best possible care and treatment for women and men in our community fighting breast cancer.

Over the past seven years our contributions to Baptist Medical Center Beaches have helped purchase a new x-ray pathology unit, known as a Faxitron, that will make diagnoses even faster and more accurate, and a digital mammography unit, hire a Breast Cancer Care Coordinator, and establish the Support & Survivorship Program at Hill Breast Center. Contibutions to Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville have helped purchase the biopsy system for the digital breast tomosynthesis, also referred to as tomo or DBT, that allows radiologists to locate and accurately target regions of interest for biopsy and we have helped support the work of Edith A. Perez, M.D., E. Aubrey Thompson, Ph.D., and their team of breast cancer researchers in the Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Translational Genomics Program here in Jacksonville. They have developed an analytical infrastructure that has positioned Mayo Clinic as one of the world leaders in breast cancer genomics.

Administrators at both Baptist Medical Center Beaches and Mayo Clinic-Jacksonville have emphasized the importance of this financial support, as this type of local commitment also helps them attract and retain medical talent. As an all-volunteer organization, we operate as a 501(c)(3) under the Baptist Health Foundation umbrella.
