On a beautiful Tuesday, September 19, 2024, the sun was shining brightly over Frankfort, setting the perfect scene for the 15th annual Tee It Up with C.O.C.O. golf scramble and dinner at the Frankfort Country Club. With a high temperature of 89°F and a gentle breeze, the event attracted a crowd eager to support a meaningful cause—raising awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research and education.

Golfing in Teal

Participants dressed in vibrant teal, the recognized color for ovarian cancer awareness, showcased their support for the Capital Ovarian Cancer Organization (C.O.C.O.). The event brought together golf enthusiasts and community members alike, all unified in their commitment to make a difference. Following the popular scramble format, players formed teams to navigate the lush greens, demonstrating their skills while promoting an important health message.

A Day of Fun and Philanthropy

The scramble wasn’t just about swinging clubs; it was a day filled with excitement, camaraderie, and friendly competition. Throughout the tournament, various special games challenged the players, making the atmosphere even more lively and engaging. Those who participated flocked to the prize ceremonies, where categories such as longest drive and closest to the pin sparked competitive spirits and provided an opportunity for bragging rights.

Winners and Highlights

After an exhilarating day on the course, winners of the special games were announced, celebrating both incredible talent and joyful spirit. While the names of the winners added extra sparkle to the event, it was the shared stories and warmth within the community that truly made the day special. Players and attendees alike expressed gratitude for the chance to support a cause that is so close to their hearts.

A Night to Remember

As the sun set and the day transitioned into evening, participants gathered for dinner, reflecting on the day’s events. Meal conversations were not just about golf; they revolved around personal stories, shared experiences, and heightened awareness about ovarian cancer. There’s something especially heartwarming about community members coming together, exchanging laughter, and building connections—all while supporting a noble pursuit.

The Impact of Support

Thanks to events like these, C.O.C.O. continues to make strides in enhancing ovarian cancer research and education. Every swing of the club, every auction item bid on, and every teal shirt worn contributed to the fight against this disease that affects so many women and families. The funds raised will go towards education, outreach, and research initiatives that could ultimately lead to better outcomes and increased awareness.
