The Elms Golf Course in Sandy Creek recently went pink as it hosted a golf tournament to aid in the fight against breast cancer. This is the 14th tournament organized by the Thursday night league. The tournament raised more than $1,775 in support of Oswego County Opportunities’ Cancer Services Program.
“We are thrilled that the committee that organized the event, which included Judy Vivlemore, Nelda Hager, Clair Wandersee, Jane Henderson, Margaret & Don Miller, Nels Atkinson, Dick Fowler and Bob Byrnes, chose to lend their support to our efforts,” said Cancer Services Coordinator Carolyn Handville. “I extend a gracious thank you to the committee as well as to Edward Jones Investments for their generous contributions. It’s rewarding to know that the work that we do is acknowledged and appreciated.”
