"Pink Links" Golf Initiative for Breast Cancer Survivors Kicks Off Second Session in February
Local Breast Cancer Survivors Can Sign Up for Free Golf Courses Now Jacksonville, Florida, December 10, 2007 -- THE PLAYERS Championship, TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass, and Baptist Health teamed up in October to begin offering "Pink Links," part of the Link-Up-2-Golf program, to help breast cancer survivors get involved with the game of golf while socializing with other survivors. The ultimate goal is to provide breast cancer survivors with an environment that promotes their healing process. To be nominated and considered for "Pink Links," you must be a breast cancer survivor who is at least six months out of treatment. The program offers survivors the chance to learn about the game, to improve well-being through increased arm motion and walking, and to socialize with other survivors in the beautiful TPC Sawgrass surroundings. The nomination form can be submitted by friends, co-workers, relatives or the breast cancer survivors themselves. The deadline for nominations for the next session is Friday, February 1, 2008. Those chosen will be sent a registration form and medical release to be completed and returned. The names of those not selected for this session will be kept on file for future sessions. Each "Pink Links" session is designed around three levels of instruction. Each level consists of four one-and-a-half-hour sessions, held at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse. The level-one class is free for breast cancer survivors, thanks to both THE PLAYERS and the TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass. The level-two and level-three sessions will be offered at half the cost, $75 for each four-week session. The schedule for the second set of Pink Links sessions is as follows:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3 The deadline for signing up for the third session of Pink Links will be Friday, June 6, 2008.
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3 "THE PLAYERS Championship owes much of its success to the Jacksonville community, and we are proud to repay that debt of gratitude through programs like 'Pink Links,'" said Ron Cross, executive director of THE PLAYERS. "The inaugural Pink Links class have provided such an inspiration to women across the First Coast, as golf and wellness are combined in this unique setting. As we grow the national fan base for THE PLAYERS, we hope to further improve the charitable and economic impact to this community." For more information, call Nelson Silverio at 904.273.3528.
