Community Activities – THE PEAK OF PINK

  • March 2025
  • BY JANET SLATER, HERONS GLEN

You’ve heard it coming, seen the flamingos, maybe tasted the baked goods or bought some raffle tickets, and wondered how there could be yet another ad for Pretty in Pink. Now it’s right around the corner— the climax of the annual fundraiser sponsored by the Herons Glen Ladies’ Golf Associations. March 19 starts off with a fun 18-hole golf tournament and continues with a luncheon for golfers and non-golfers alike. The beautifully decorated ballroom will be filled with about 200 women dressed in pink, and rows of gift baskets waiting to go home with lucky raffle ticket holders. A guest from Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc., will speak briefly and receive a check representing the support of the hundreds of Herons Glen residents who supported Pretty in Pink in some way. A highlight of the luncheon will be honoring the survivors of all types of cancer.

Places may still be available for the luncheon or golf tournament. Please contact Bonnie MacGregor for information at (585) 303-0624 or [email protected].
