Ribbons of Strength and Putting for Purple! April 26, 2025
Join us Saturday, April 26 for our Ribbons of Strength event! Funds raised are used to help cancer patients who are struggling financially so that they may focus their energy on treatment, healing, and recovery.
Proceeds will benefit Alton Memorial Health Services Foundation’s “You’ve Got a Friend” and “Extra Mile” funds which help patients pay for essentials and remove barriers that may prevent them from seeking or continuing treatment. Funds can be used for expenses like:
- Gas cards
- Car repairs and insurance
- Utility bills
- Rent and mortgage payments
Guests are invited to order a “ribbon” prior to the event to encourage a loved one fighting cancer, to encourage caregivers or to remember someone who has lost their battle. Banners will be on display on the “Wall of Honor” lining the fencing around the venue.
The event will take place at Grip & Sip located at 139 W. MacArthur Blvd., in Cottage Hills from 10 am to 4 pm. Light appetizers will be available as well as bar service provided by Grip & Sip.
New to the event this year is a virtual golf scramble! Guests wanting to participate in the scramble need to register ahead of time by calling the Foundation Office. The cost is $50 per person/$100 per team. There will also be other activities like raffles and a putting contest called, “Putting for Purple”.
