2025 Tee it up for a Cure!
The 2025 Tee it up for a cure golf tournament and fundraiser was held at Croasdaile Country Club in Durham on Monday, September 22nd.
The golf tournament, Croasdaile’s beautiful golf course and a day of sunshine was enjoyed by 100 players from throughout the Triangle. Participants included guests of our Event and Hole Sponsors and many others wanting to lend their support to breast cancer research at our local universities.
The tournament was followed by a reception, to include fantastic baby back ribs donated by Tony Roma’s of Durham, hors d’oeuvres from the Croasdaile kitchen and Chick-fil-A, and fabulous mini bundt cakes donated by Nothing Bundt Cakes.
The highlight of the evening was a visit from Katrina Cooke, a 12-year survivor of stage 4, metastatic breast cancer. Katrina’s story is one of incredible challenges and remarkable courage and resilience.

To say Katrina embodies the value of breast cancer research and the need to continue that research is an understatement. Despite all the advances, of which there have been many, there is still a need for better detection methods, more personalized treatment approaches and improved outcomes for the > 300,000 women and men diagnosed with breast cancer each year and the millions living with specter of it returning.
The evening continued with the awarding of raffle and tournament prizes and both silent and live auctions. Thanks go out to all who donated auction items, gift certificates, jewelry, vacations rentals and so much more.

Finally, an enormous thank you goes out to our sponsors, supporters, donors, participants and especially our volunteers. It is because of their generosity, both in time and financially, that allows us to donate what is well over $1 million dollars since the founding of the Chapel Hill Breast Cancer Foundation.
