PORT ANGELES — Pink Up Port Angeles will culminate in a benefit golf tournament today.
The annual campaign by the Soroptimist International of Port Angeles-Noon Club, which benefits Operation Uplift, began last Saturday with a bake sale and a free breast health clinic.
On Tuesday, the Port Angeles City Council temporarily changed the city’s name to “Pink Angeles.”
And throughout the week, pink ribbons appeared in storefronts across town.
Today, the club will host a four-person scramble golf tournament at the Peninsula Golf Club, 824 S. Lindberg Road, from noon to about 4:30 p.m.
Afterward, golfers and audience members can partake of a buffet dinner.
Cash prizes, a 2017 red two-door Chevrolet Camaro coupe, a five-day carnival cruise, Tour Edge drivers and a three-day, two-night stay at Treetops Resort await this year’s winners.
To register or for more information, call the club at 360-457-6501.
Quilt raffle winners also will be announced at the tournament. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $5 each or three for $10. The handmade quilt features a whole lot of pink, enough to cover a queen-size bed or a king topper.
All proceeds from the campaign will benefit Operation Uplift, a nonprofit volunteer organization founded in 1983 that provides wigs, turbans, scarves, prostheses, gas cards, financial support, a 24/7 help line and other services to cancer patients on the North Olympic Peninsula. The group started 34 years ago to support breast cancer survivors but now supports survivors of all types of cancer.
