When considering the potential recipients of this Charity Auction, it comes down to where the money will do the most good. Breast Cancer is a terrible disease, but there is hope that it can be eradicated. Putt’s Place is passionate about this issue. Therefore, 80% of the funds generated from advertiser commissions from Putt’s Place Mall and the Annex from October 1, 2009 through October 31, 2009 will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 80% of the proceeds from this Auction, ending October 31, 2009 will also be donated.
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research. The Foundation supports scientists at top universities and academic medical centers worldwide conducting the most advanced and promising breast cancer research that will lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime. A minimum of 85 cents of each dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to breast cancer research and awareness programs. In October 2008, $34.5 million was awarded to 166 scientists across the United States and in Australia, Canada, Latin America, the Middle East, and throughout Europe. And for the seventh consecutive year, BCRF received Charity Navigator’s highest rating, four stars, thus outperforming over 99% of the evaluated charities, while the American Institute of Philanthropy has awarded BCRF its highest possible rating of A+. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization in the U.S. to receive these accolades. For more information, visit www.bcrfcure.org or call 1.866.FIND.A.CURE.
