Members of Contra Costa Country Club (Pleasant Hill, Calif.) raised over $59,500 for PLAY for P.I.N.K, a national charity funding breast cancer research, with more donations still coming in.
The funds were generated through an October 2 golf tournament, dinner, and silent auction held in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The event raised a record-breaking $59,580, bringing the club’s total contributions since 2012 to $306,442.
“I’m extremely proud of the Contra Costa Country Club team and community for making such an impact,” says 2026 Play for P.I.N.K. Committee Chair JD McCormick. “The ability to gather as friends and raise money for an amazing cause is something that makes this community truly unique.”
The club’s fundraising efforts have grown significantly over the years. In 2012, its inaugural event raised $3,216. Today, the annual fundraiser generates tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the continued generosity and dedication of the Contra Costa Country Club community.
PLAY for P.I.N.K. (Prevention, Immediate diagnosis, New technology, Knowledge) supports a nationwide network of volunteers who raise money for breast cancer research through sporting and lifestyle events to speed advances in prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship. PLAY for P.I.N.K. donates 100 percent of its proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
