FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Woodlands, Texas (March 27, 2012): Have you been looking for an excuse to get those clubs out of storage and put them to good use? The Breast Cancer Charities of America has the perfect opportunity for you!

The Breast Cancer Charities of America (BCCA) will be hosting the iGoPink Golf Classic on Monday, May 14, 2012 at the Palmer Course in The Woodlands, TX. The Golf Classic will be the second of four events that BCCA will be hosting this year in The Woodlands.

“We are very excited to add this event to our calendar this year,” says BCCA Executive Director Erica A. Harvey. “The iGoPink Golf Classic will be a great way for members of the community to get together and compete in a fun way for a worthy cause, so come out and join us!”

In addition to the golf tournament, other activities for the event include: Hit the Pink Gorilla, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, Tiger Drive, Hole in One, and a silent auction. After a great round of golf, participants will be treated to a delicious fajita dinner, complements of the Golf Classic Official Dinner Sponsor, Rico’s Mexican Grill.

The Woodlands, Texas (February 27, 2012): Northside FIAT has selected Breast Cancer Charities of America (BCCA) as their local breast cancer charity to donate $2,000.00 per Fiat 500 Pink Ribbon car sold in their showroom. The FIAT 500 Pink Ribbon car is paving the way to help in the fight against breast cancer by helping out not only financially, but also by symbolically supporting a great cause.

“We are so fortunate to have such amazing partners to work with,” says BCCA Executive Director Erica Harvey. “Northside FIAT hosted our 2nd Annual Chocolate and Wine Tasting Evening, which was a huge success. Not only did they open their showroom doors for the event, but truly stepped up in the fight against breast cancer…giving a generous $10,000 donation and selecting BCCA as their local charity to receive $2,000 per Pink Ribbon FIAT. We cannot thank FIAT enough for their support.”
