or 5 largest fundraisers for Susan G. Komen Coastal Georgia. In 2017, the regional Komen affiliate provided grants to these two local programs – Southeast Georgia Health System’s “Mammograms in Motion” and the Coastal Community Health Services. This is a well-established event and those who coordinate it are well-organized, and they maximize donations that go to fight breast cancer. Their administrative costs, for event promotion and fundraising materials and supplies, are limited to less than 0.7% of the annual event total income. All the Silent Auction and Raffle items are donated by individuals and local
businesses. Dedicated volunteers serve on the organizing committee, and many men and women volunteer in other ways to ensure the success of the event. You can sponsor a hole for as little as $100. The silent auction, raffles and social will be held from 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Monday, March 26. The golf scramble and luncheon will take place on March 27. Please contact co-chairs Carol Sabo at 912.634.6867 or Nancy Fixx at 703.431.7561 with any questions, to take advantage of sponsorship opportunities, or to register. Come on out to Brunswick Country Club and scramble in support of a cure for breast cancer.
