Pink Ball in Pictures
By Penny Kirk
How does one describe a community event like the Charbonneau Pink Ball Tournament? A
sea of pink? Yes. One hundred
seventy golfers - men, women,
couples, most in pink - assembled the morning of August 10
with big smiles, obviously ready
to enjoy themselves. Touching?
Yes. How can one read the 89
Tee Box Signs celebrating family and loved ones and not feel
their impact. Generous? Absolutely! Our Charbonneau community opened their hearts and
check books; and, together with
our eleven corporate and seven
oral auction sponsors, raised over
$18,000 dollars for The American
Cancer Society, more than twice
what we raised last year, and donations continue to come in.
But, for me, the word that
most easily comes to mind when
I remember this year's Pink Ball
Tournament is - thankful. I am
so thankful to be living in Charbonneau, where the big hearts
and generosity of our friends and
neighbors make a very special
event like the Pink Ball Tournament possible and where we all
join together for a common cause
and then celebrate an amazing
community achievement.
