| Dr. Tom Robbins, SCI director, Cristie Kerr Sara Howe, breast cancer survivor |
In addition to her work on the golf course, the 14 time LPGA Tour winner has been quite busy off the course raising money for her Birdies for Breast Cancer charity. Several days ago she presented a $5,000 check to the Simmons Cancer Institute at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.
The donation was made at a wine-tasting event held at Panther Creek in conjunction with “Curvature” Cristie Kerr’s signature wine label. It will fund ongoing research to fight breast cancer.
As a charitable partner, SCI will also receive funds from the LPGA... and tomorrow is "Get Your Pink On Day" when spectators who wear pink will get free parking and four breast cancer survivors representing the cancer institute will be walking with the pros. It looks like a rosy weekend ahead in Springfield.
Cristie is one of my favorites and her charitable work is certainly as exemplary as her golf.
ReplyDeleteand by the way, I have a few bottles of Curvature and I recommend it as a nice compliment to a summer bbq'd steak...
I've heard good things about her wine and there's no doubt about CK's dedication to her charity. The fact that she can also compete at such a high level is really impressive.
ReplyDeleteWatch out, it looks like Brittany Lincicome is going low today. Got my money on her this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great leaderboard going into the final round!
