Friday evening was spent participating in the Susan G Komen Golf for a Cure and Promise Awards Dinner in Highland Park. Golfers played charity games during the day, then they along with volunteers and patrons were treated to refreshments, hors D'oeuvres, and dinner, along with entertainment and silent and live auctions all benefiting breast cancer. My travel companion for the evening was my friend (and cancer survivor herself) Renee', and we also had the privilege of getting to sit with Pat Rowland, board president of the Susan G Komen Chicagoland affiliate. It was also a great time spent visiting Kathi again, and getting to see Cara one more time - beautifully pregnant, no less! - before she relocates to the Boston Area. These ladies work so diligently for SGK!
My thanks to Renee' for being with me that night (the joke of the evening was that we were dressed in the event's official colors - pink and green!), as well as to the many supporters of this event. Every little bit helps in finding cures and funding screenings for early detection, ultimately saving more lives!
