The 6th Annual “Puttin’ On The Pink” Golf Tournament benefitting the American Cancer Society was held on September 15, 2021 at the Hamilton Mill Golf Club in Dacula, GA. The tournament was presented by Ricoh with funds to support the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program.
The American Cancer Society saves lives by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against cancer. ACS is working to finish the fight against every cancer in every community. They are the largest private, not-for-profit funder of cancer research in the United States, investing more than $4 billion since 1946. More than 1.5 million lives have been saved in the U.S. in the past two decades.
This year’s golf tournament raised approximately $65,000, bringing the fundraiser’s six year total to nearly $300,000 raised for cancer research!
