The second annual 4Kay Golf Classic raised over $175,000 for women’s cancers research. It was held Monday at the Grandover Resort and Conference Center in Greensboro, N.C. and featured 153 women’s basketball coaches, administrators and supporters of the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund, in partnership with The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
The event began with a charity auction and gala Sunday night. A silent auction, which included items that were donated from organizations nationally, raised nearly $10,000. A live auction was also held, with Huskies coach Geno Auriemma winning Yow’s director’s chair with a bid of $5,000. He then donated the chair to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.
“The Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund is very grateful to the ACC and the City of Greensboro for hosting the 2009 Classic,’’ said Marsha Sharp, the Executive Director of the Fund. “The positive response from our sponsors and coaches resulted in a record $175,000 being raised for the Fund, an increase over last year’s $142,000.’’
