Uniting Cancer Warriors During “Pinktober”

Panera Bread® Pink Ribbon Bagels  

In celebration of 20 years of the Pink Ribbon Bagel, participating Panera Bread® cafes donated $0.20 cents from each Pink Ribbon Bagel sold from October 1-31 to the Orlando Health Cancer Institute. Through the Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign alone, Panera Bread has helped to raise more than $350,000 for cancer care at Orlando Health. 

Kendra Scott “Shops for Good” 

On October 16 and 17, Kendra Scott at The Mall At Millenia gave 20 percent of their sales to benefit Orlando Health Cancer Institute. However, on top of that, shoppers who spent $150 or more received a complimentary Elisa Necklace to gift to someone in their life touched by cancer. 

Orange Tree Golf Club Members-Only Golf Tournament 

Orange Tree Golf Club Women’s Golf Association held a members-only co-ed golf tournament on October 28. Funds raised through sponsorships, registration and chance-to-win tickets benefited the Cancer Support Community at Orlando Health Cancer Institute. Many thanks to co-chairs Debbie Austin and Jeanette Lawrence for their continued support in organizing this event. 

Women Playing For T.I.M.E. Duplicate Bridge Tournament  

On October 26, longtime Women Playing For T.I.M.E. supporter Helen Cairns hosted “We Belong Together”, a Duplicate Bridge Tournament at the Country Club of Orlando. The day, filled with great games, speakers and food, benefited the Cancer Support Community at Orlando Health Cancer Institute. 

In addition, event guests as well as donors who could not attend, purchased tribute flags in support of the men and women in their lives who have battled cancer. Tribute flags in honor/memory of loved ones were displayed at the entrance of Country Club of Orlando as a way to celebrate the life of someone special. 

The mission of Women Playing For T.I.M.E.® is to partner with the Orlando Health Foundation in support of the Orlando Health Cancer Institute to defeat cancer, as it affects women and their families and friends.
