Mid South goes pink
Mid South Club resident and member Barb Syler, who lost her mother to breast cancer, teamed up with fellow club member Debbie Dix (herself a breast cancer survivor) to honor all the men and women that have been impacted by breast cancer. After playing in the Durham Tee it up! for a Cure golf tournament, they decided to organize a fundraising tournament at their home club with proceeds marked for the same charity – the Chapel Hill Breast Cancer Foundation.
On a stunning, September day with sunny skies and mild temperatures, the very first Mid South Goes
PINK Women’s Golf Tournament was launched. Women, men, local business owners, residents, and
people from all over North Carolina (and beyond) joined together to raise money for the battle against
breast cancer.
All proceeds were donated to the Chapel Hill Breast Cancer Foundation (CHBCF), a non-profit
organization with the singular mission of supporting discovery-phase breast cancer research projects at
Duke University, the University of North Carolina, and Wake Forest University.
This effort raised a whopping $25,140. The planning team gathered together to present a check to
CHBCF Founder Ann Petersen and Ginny Meihaus (co-chair).
