Well ladies. T- off is imminent! An hour and a half we will hit the links and raise a ton of dough for Ovarian Cancer Research and Outreach Programs!
With our 40 special ladies and the sunshine over Stonehenge Golf Course we are ready to go and so looking forward to this special day! Raising funds for this very worthy cause in memory of my Mom, Bernice. In 8 short years we have raised over $83,000 and many of these special ladies have played since our first tournament. Many of our sponsors have been with us since day one and even some of the volunteers keep coming back. Our new volunteers have seen how great this tournament is and do their utmost to make this even more successful than ever. Thank you to Sherry at Stonehenge for going above and beyond what we had hoped for…
Our special thanks to Evergreen Farm and Lawn Ltd for providing us with the Hole in One prize of $3500 in golf gift cards and Swag…which includes $500 of the same for her team mates…Go get it ladies…I know you can do this!
All of our sponsors are special and I want to thank them for all they do!
See you on the course…stay tuned for the results!
Well Tom Brown says the weather will be sunny and dry with a high of 18…great golfing weather! Sherry, Mgr of Stonehenge is busy firming up the menu and it sounds delish! I know you will be happy with the selection she has put together. All in all it looks like we will have a great day on Sunday the 26th!
We are still looking for a few golfers so if you have any clout with your friends please let me know and bring them along …the winner will be Ovarian Cancer! I am sure some of you will come through for us to fill our roster and insure our spot for Stonehenge for our 10th Annual tournament next year (2020)
Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday! Tee off is at 9 am sharp so get there by 8:30 a.m. See you then!
The Honourable Bill Morneau, Canada’s Minister of Finance rose in the House of Commons today at 4pm EDT to table the 2019 Federal Budget. Here is an excerpt that relates to Ovarian Cancer, a cause we have put our hearts and souls into for the past 9 years…way to go ladies!!
A quote from Cailey one of our Ovarian Cancer Canada Spokeswomen sent to me this afternoon “Ovarian Cancer Canada together with people like you – for leading scientists, people living with ovarian cancer and their loved ones – has been urging federal decision-makers to provide an immediate and additional research investment of $10 million. Together we have advocated for an investment that would support a more coordinated approach to research in the areas of experimental models, treatments, and clinical trials, thus paving the way for new and significant medical breakthroughs for women affected.”
Liberal MP Kim Rudd’s office has let me know it is $10 million dollars over 5 yeas and MP Rudd who is a huge supporter of Ovarian Cancer Canada is I am sure, as exited as I am and over the moon with this announcement! I must say…it has been a long journey for those of us that have been lobbying our levels of government, attending Ottawa and speaking to the Federal MP’s from all sides of the house.. To them I want to say, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!
Thank you to MP Rudd and her office staff and to Elisabeth Baugh, CEO of Ovarian Cancer Canada and the staff and volunteers at Ovarian Cancer Canada for your tireless and relentless work for the Cause…truly ladies with LADY BALLS!
Onward and upward from here!!
Good afternoon all!
We have confirmation that we will be playing our 9th Annual In The Face of an Angel Golf for Ovarian Cancer Tournament for the 3rd year at Pebblestone Golf Course, 1550 Pebblestone Rd, Courtice on May 26th, 2019! Thank you Kate and Paul Sobil for once again agreeing to host this very meaningful tournament!
Details will be posted as they are firmed up but right now I ask that you circle the date, May 26th and then stay tuned for more details! I am currently working with Ovarian Cancer Canada so that our webpage will be able to accept donations online through them and they will provide the tax receipt over $20.00
Please tell your relatives, friends and neighbours, and with their help maybe we can top our donations of last year!
Looking forward to hearing from you all….soon…
Good morning all!
Things are moving along and we are getting great silent auction items for the fundraising we do! I have to thank all the businesses that have been so generous and donated these great items!
Our sponsors have been most generous again this year and they are forever in our hearts! Pebblestone Golf Course, in Courtice, is busy preparing for us and anxious to host this tournament for the second year! We thank you Kate and Paul Sobil!
There have been some issues at the course so we will be unable to have our “after the game luncheon”at Pebblestone Golf so we have rented a room at the Garnet B. Rickard Complex in Bowmanville and Sandy is busy preparing all the silent auction items we have to date so she will be able to transport them all in her very organized fashion! I think you will be thrilled at the vast selection of great items we have this year!
We are still looking for 2 teams so if you know of any ladies that would like to come and golf to support this very worthy cause PLEASE have them contact us at http://www.inthefaceofanangel.ca and register. I would hate to have to reconsider this tournament after 8 years as it means so much to the so many who benefit from the money raised for research and the outreach programs!
I will be posting more frequent to give you all an update as we are getting close now and I look forward to seeing you all there! In the meantime…keep smilin’
As Mother Nature finally smiles upon us and the weather gets better by the day, I travel thru Clarington and see the many golfers hitting the links! As our bodies limber up from the grueling winter and we walk with a spring in our step, we begin to think about the task at hand…our 8th Annual “In The Face of an Angel” Golf for Ovarian Cancer and raising funds for our Outreach and research programs. Since the inception of this tournament in memory of my Mom, Bernice, we have raised a lot of money for the “Cause” and all of you can be so very proud of this!
Many of you know my sister who has battled Breast Cancer this year(and so far is doing great) has decided to pick up some clubs and enter the tournament as a player and I am so proud of her for that! So when you see her duffing along, be patient, she is just getting started at the game and I have no doubt she will have a lot of fun and make a lot of great memories along the way!
You all should know that Breast Cancer and Ovarian Cancer are linked and we must do whatever we can to help eradicate it in our lifetime. This successful tournament will help us do that, I am sure!
Our Great Sponsors have come back another year and without them, we could not do what we do so when you see their names make a mental note and when you see them in the Community, thank them….it will go a long way to show them that you noticed they continue to help us be successful each and every year with our donation to the “Cause”
We currently have 8 spots left so if you or our friends would like to join us go to our website at http://www.inthefaceofanangel.ca and register NOW! These spots will not stay available forever so do it now while you think about it!
Looking forward to seeing you all there on May 27th at Pebblestone Golf Course, Courtice! Get ready to Tee Off for Ovarian Cancer NOW!
Enjoy this wonderful day in the sunshine! and I will see you all soon!
