Sulphur Springs, TX: The Sulphur Springs Ladies Golf Association held their annual fundraising tournament on October 26 at the Sulphur Springs Country Club. Participants showed their support of breast cancer awareness month, not only by raising over $5,000 but also by wearing pink.
They donated the funds to the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation’s ‘In My Closet’ program, which provides free wigs, prosthetics, and other needs to Hopkins County women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
The monies donated will be used to restock the supplies and assist local, uninsured women by providing access to free mammograms at the Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center, a part of CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs.
Maleta Reynolds, chair of the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation, expressed her gratitude to the group. “These women are so kind to the Foundation. For several years now, they have reminded women of the need for mammograms and self-exams, and they have also raised money to help Hopkins County women get the supplies and care they need. We appreciate all that the ladies of the SSLGA have done to support In My Closet.”
‘In My Closet’ was established in 2016 and has been a source of supplies for women undergoing breast cancer and encouragement.
