PRETTY IN PINK IS COMING!

  • December 2025
  • BY JANET SLATER, HERONS GLEN

Pretty in Pink (PIP), sponsored by the Herons Glen Ladies’ Golf Associations, consists of multiple fundraising events that benefit Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Inc., a local nonprofit that provides diagnostic testing and treatment for uninsured, low-income women and men in Lee and surrounding counties. Planning has already begun for PIP 2026 which kicks off in January and culminates with a fun golf tournament and luncheon on March 18. Last year’s Pretty in Pink event raised over $35,000, due to the involvement of so many in all parts of the Herons Glen community. This year we’re again looking for your help! Following is a list of PIP committees on which any HG resident can serve. Consider where you might like to help, and contact the chair for more information!
