WINDWARD FOR A CURE: A TASTE AND A TOAST!

Please save the date! This Friday, April 13th at 7pm at the Metropolitan Club for Windward for a Cure: A Taste and A Toast! Tickets may be purchased through the secure website: http://www.windwardforacure.org/. We all know someone who has been touched by cancer. Thank you for your support at the 2006 Windward for a Cure and welcome you if you are new to this fabulous event. 2006 was a success as our community raised $50,000 for the local chapter of the American Cancer Society. This year we have pledged to raise $60,000 so we need your help! This year we are introducing a mini taste of Alpharetta with local restaurants like Sage and Village Tavern serving up fabulous food. Pop’s Wine and Spirits will sponsor the wine tasting, so you can sip as you shop for items during our silent auction or outbid your neighbor during our live auction. Some of the exciting items are a signed golf club by Nick Faldo, a safari trip in Africa, a Villa in Tuscany, golfing at the Golf Club of Georgia, spa packages and dinners out. For additional event information visit the website or contact Mindy Jones at 770-475-8969. Tickets can be purchased on line at Windwardforacure.org. Invite your friends and neighbors!

EVENT HISTORY

A group of Windward tennis ladies began this event as a tennis tournament 7 years ago in memory of Kathleen Dyer, an avid Windward tennis player that lost her life to brain cancer within 3 weeks of being diagnosed. Three years ago we expanded the tennis tournament to include the whole Windward community by adding a silent auction/wine tasting at the Golf Club of Georgia. With a sellout audience last year this year we’ve changed locations to the Metropolitan Club so we can expand our event. Because of the participation of the Windward community and local businesses, we were able to raise $90,000 over the last two years for the Alpharetta branch of the American Cancer Society. We are excited about having the support of the whole community to get behind a cause that has affected each and every one of us.
