CHARITY GOLF DAY

http://www.888dag.com/ Once again on a Thursday played golf at our club. This Thursday was special as it was charity day. We get to invite friends to play with us and we all dressed in pink as the charity was for breast cancer. We had about 165 ladies playing and had a wonderful lunch afterwards.
There were heaps of raffles and wonderful prizes to be won, five weekends away to various golf resorts, and so many of the members donated prizes for the raffles. (five sets of raffles ). In eash raffle there were about 15 prizes.
It was a tremendous day although our team didnt win anything except a ball. Took heaps of raffle tickets and didnt win anything there either, but a wonderful day was had by all , weather was also beautiful and sunny. We raised about $6 5000 of which a portion will go to Prostate cancer research. Not bad for a small club.
The drive held in Canada the other night apparently raised 100 million dollars with some very big donors contributing, so ours seems like a drop in the ocean, but I know every little bit helps.

CURE FOR CANCER ?

http://www.888dag.com/ Was talking to a friend of mine in Canada and she was telling me that the other night they had a phoneathon to raise money for Cancer Research. Apparently all the celebreties manned the phones and a song has been made called Just Stand Up. It is sung by Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etteridge, Natasha Bedingfield, Miley Cyris, Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood, Keysia Cole, LeAnn Rimes, Ashanti , Ciara and Maria Carey.
According to the report, a cure for cancer is almost here. Apparently they can pinpoint the cancerous cells in the blood and inject the serum and it will kill the cancer in the blood cells.
Sounds wonderful and hopefully it comes soon. So much suffering for too long.
