Cancer Is For The Birds!

Each year in February,  my sister co-chairs a golf tournament to benefit a cancer organization where she lives in Naples, Florida.  This year, her ladies golf group chose the Cancer Alliance of Naples, or CAN for short.  CAN is a grassroots, volunteer driven organization that provides assistance to cancer patients and their families in the form of financial assistance, information resources and links to services and support groups in the community.

Their theme...."Cancer Is For The Birds" kicked off the day with flamingos around the greens instead of the traditional golf flags and golf carts took on the appearance of a "boobmobile" with a sign that said "Save the TaTas--Big or Small, We Love Them All."

A beautiful Florida day gave way to a group of dedicated golfers that raised more than $7,000 so that CAN may continue to give the much needed assistance to cancer patients and their families of Southern Florida.
