The 18th annual Central Wisconsin Pink Ribbon Open has been declared an overwhelming success, raising more than $86,000 to support area women undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
That brings the 18-year total to more than $800,000. With these funds, K-tech Charities has distributed 141 checks to area patients.
Overall, 43 golf teams gathered June 14 at the Wausau Country Club to participate. Generous support for this year’s event came from individual golfers and volunteers, as well as roughly 37 business sponsors.
“Thank you to these and a very long list of additional sponsors who made the 2021 Pink Ribbon Open possible,” said Craig Kersemeier from K-tech Kleening Systems. “It is the incredible love and kindness of this community that allows K-tech Charities to organize our charitable events and support those who are in need!”
