Dorothy Hamill "Women Fore Women" Golf Tournament

 

Thank you for joining us for the Dorothy Hamill "Women fore Women" Golf Tournament!

Monday, June 7 marked the 3rd Annual Dorothy Hamill Women fore Women Golf Tournament at the Country Club of Waterbury, benefiting the Mammography Fund at Saint Mary’s Hospital. The event, which was chaired by Olympic Gold Medalist Dorothy Hamill along with Mary Wiatr and Chris Geraghty, raised over $65,000 this year to support women in need of mammograms and other potentially life saving breast cancer screenings.

Almost 200 women from the Greater Waterbury Community enjoyed a day of golf, girlfriends and give-a-ways. Some of the prize packages included Coach bags and apparel, Vera Bradley, a Flip Video Camcorder, spa accommodations and JetBlue Airline tickets. New this year was a very successful Evening Reception following the afternoon flight. Over 100 golfers and non golfers alike gathered at the Country Club of Waterbury for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in support of this important cause.

Dorothy Hamill thanked the co-chairs, staff and volunteers from Saint Mary’s for all of the time and hard work devoted to this event, “I am so impressed by the number of women here today to support this cause, since we have all been touched by breast cancer. If you’re here next year, I’ll be here!”

Each golfer who participated in the tournament underwrote the cost of two mammograms while each ticket purchased for the Evening Reception underwrote the cost of one. More than 500 women from the Greater Waterbury Community will benefit from the money raised at this year’s event.
