The Marsh Landing Country Club’s Pink Ribbon Trio raised $16,000 for Pink Ribbon Jax, an all-volunteer nonprofit focused on breast cancer early detection.
The series concluded Oct. 6 with Golf for the Girls. Inclement weather canceled its golf portion, though participants and guests still gathered for lunch and remarks from Pink Ribbon Jax representatives.
Golf for the Girls had been Pink Ribbon at Marsh Landing’s only fundraising event for several years. This year, chair Wendy Waller expanded the effort with Mahjong for Mammos and Tennis for Tatas. Proceeds from all three events benefited Pink Ribbon Jax.
Waller, who is also a member of the Women’s Golf Association, said the group considers support for Pink Ribbon Jax a priority because of the organization’s work in the community.
Ataraxis, a breast cancer diagnostic laboratory, was the event’s main sponsor. During the luncheon, Ataraxis representative Danny Horn discussed the company’s AI-based approach to evaluating a patient’s unique tumor profile. Pink Ribbon Jax President Marica Pendjer also encouraged attendees to stay current on mammograms and their health, saying early detection makes the disease highly treatable.
