Take a Swing at Breast Cancer
Take a Swing at Breast Cancer is an 18-hole charity golf tournament created and produced by the team of A Sister's Hope.
Swingers can Take a Swing at Highland Park Country Club north of Chicago on Fri., Aug. 24, 2012. Interested persons can write to Info@ASistersHope.org or call (773)412-6397.
Most people want to do something in the world's efforts to find better treatments and the cure for breast cancer, but walking 60km over two days - A Sister's Hope 60km Walk, October 6&7, 2012 - is not the way some people choose to help. This four-person scramble tournament gives people another option for helping and still offers the challenge of raising a significant amount to fund leading breast cancer research.

Initial registration fee of $50 to reserve your spot.
Every 13 minutes in the U.S., a woman dies from breast cancer. That equals 18 women during a 4-hour round of golf.
Golfers are asked to swing for a high fund raising goal: $324 Full Round Golfer (includes hole sponsorship and entry to win prizes) or $200 Honor 9 Golfer.
Full Round Golfer $324 = $18 x 18 holes

Please keep in mind that the testing of one tissue sample for some of the breast cancer research being done costs $260. Top fund raisers will receive special awards in addition to the deepest of gratitude from the breast cancer community.

CORPORATIONS can make this an employee benefit and a marketing opportunity by sponsoring a foursome, or two or three. Teams can wear logo shirts and their companies can contribute items to all players' goodie bags. Individual golfers also can register and will be placed into a foursome if they do not create one on their own. Since space is limited, participants are asked to make a reservation as soon as possible. Write to: A Sister's Hope - Take a Swing, 6263 N. McCormick Blvd. #104, Chicago, IL 60659, or email Info@ASistersHope.org.
