"Pink Links" Golf Initiative for Breast Cancer Survivors Kicks Off Third Session in September
Local Breast Cancer Survivors Can Sign Up for Free Golf Courses Now Jacksonville, Florida, August 4, 2008 -- THE PLAYERS Championship, TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass and Baptist Health will again team up in September 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. "THE PLAYERS Championship is proud to offer this program to women in our community who have battled breast cancer," said Henry Hughes, CEO of THE PLAYERS. "Now in its third season, Pink Links has provided inspiration to women across the First Coast, as golf and wellness are combined in this unique setting. The ladies have not only learned the game, but bonded in their shared journey and made us extremely proud to have played a part in their healing." 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 Saturday, August 23, 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 third set of Pink Links sessions is as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 For more information, call Charlene Shirk at 904.280.4722.
