Club’s Pink Ribbon event raises funds
Breast cancer is a disease that affects many people both directly and indirectly, men and women— and it’s that for that reason the public are being encouraged to support an event aimed at raising money for those who suffer from it.
The Fairview Social Club in conjunction with the Fairview Golf and Country Club are organising a Pink Ribbon Breakfast to raisemoney for the Breast Cancer Foundation, which provides support and research for those impacted from cancer.
This year will be the third event for the organisers andwill be held at the Fairview Golf and Country Club on Sunday.
Organisers say attendeeswill be encouraged towear pink— including the men if they choose to.
FrankieMcGuire, whowas a coorganiser of the event from the Fairview Golf and Country Club, said themain organisers were MonicaWilliams, Glennis Sims and Carol Flippard and they had done a great job to ensure the event would be an enjoyable one.
Mr McGuire said they hoped to sell 90 tickets to the event and “raise as much money as possible” for a “wonderful” cause.
Attendeeswould get a full buffet breakfast, a glass of bubbles and a welcome pack on arrival and the ticket price includes a donation to the foundation.
“We encourage men to come and dress in pink for the day, it’s not just a ladies’ event.”
Mr McGuire said the club would also hold golfing events this weekendwhich he hoped would increase the donation to the foundation.
