The Pink Ladies are looking to exceed their fundraising of previous years and raise much-needed funds for a worthy charity.
The 7th Pink Ladies Day will be on Thursday, 5 September, at the Pestana Silves golf course. The game is a pairs-better ball, and prizes will be awarded down to 6th place, together with numerous nearest-the-pins and longest drives.
The charitable ladies are appealing to well-known names in golf and local businesses to support this great day and a well-deserving Portuguese charity. Pestana kindly offered them courtesy use of the course at Silves, so the entry fee for Pestana members is €30 and non-Pestana members €40. They are also looking for more offers of sponsorship or prizes for the event, to support a very good cause.
All money raised goes to the Algarvean Oncology Association. The AOA is a much-needed service in the Algarve. Mobile units travel to smaller towns and screen people across the length and breadth of the Algarve. This enables earlier diagnosis and, thereby, faster access to treatment for various forms of cancer, including breast, respiratory and skin.
