OP Pickleball tournament to raise funds for breast cancer research
Wednesday, August 18, 2021
(Aug. 19, 2021) Players, and especially sponsors, are being sought for the annual Pickleball Round Robin tournament, scheduled Friday, Oct. 1 at the Ocean Pines Racquet Center.
Hosted by the Ocean Pines Pickleball Club, the tournament is part of a quartet of local “Pink Ribbon Classic” events raising money for cancer research.
“For the fourth consecutive year, the Ocean Pines Pickleball Club Round Robin will join several other events taking place for the Pink Ribbon Classic at the Beach, to benefit the American Cancer Society and help fight breast cancer,” organizer Chris Shook said.
Shook said the Pink Ribbon Classic series was started by a local group of volunteers. Since its inception, the series has raised roughly $3.6 million for breast cancer research, awareness programs, and services.
“One of the most important services available in this area is the Road to Recovery Program, which connects caregivers with patients to transport them to and from treatment,” she said. “There is also the Hope Lodge that provides lodging during treatment, the Cancer Survivors Network available at www.cancer.org, and a 24-hour-a-day information center at 1-800-227-2345 for patients to access ACS services.”
The American Cancer Society is currently funding 168 grants totaling more than $68.9 million related to breast cancer research. Since 1989, breast cancer deaths in the U.S. are down 40%, meaning 375,900 lives have been saved.
For players, the tournament entry fee is $35 per person and the registration deadline is Monday, Sept. 27.
