ERADICATING BREAST CANCER ONE GOLF PUTT AT A TIME.

WHO WE ARE

The Breast Cancer Eradication Initiative is a 29-year old 501(c)(3) which has operated the Pink Ribbon Open since 1994.  As an LPGA Pro Am fund raiser, we have successfully donated over $4.5 Million to local organizations for treatment, screening and education.  Monies raised have served to benefit many local organizations, including:

​

  • Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women Foundation

  • Church Health Center

  • UT West Cancer Clinic

  • Baptist School of Nursing Scholarship

  • Methodist Healthcare Foundation

  • UTHSC College of Nursing

WHAT WE DO

With the goal of contributing to the end of breast cancer, our volunteers work to raise money through the PINK RIBBON OPEN.  As an LPGA Pro-Am Golf Tournament, and in conjunction with our hosting Golf Facility, Ridgeway Country Club, participants provide life-saving funds for use by the Greater Memphis healthcare network.
