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.
​
HOW YOU HELP
September 22, 2024: Join us for dinner, the Pairing Party, and Live Auction at Ridgeway Country Club. You, along with LPGA players, cancer fighters, survivors, and those passionate about a cure come together for an evening of fun and opportunity. Teams will be randomly assigned their touring LPGA Professional Golfer for the tournament. Dinner will be served, and everyone present will have the opportunity to donate via a live bidding auction, a top-shelf Bourbon Pull, and other events designed to support the local cancer fighting community.
​
September 23, 2024: Join your Pro/Am Team for a 8:30am Shotgun. Breakfast is served prior to the first swing and Lunch is served during the Trophy Presentation.
