American Cancer Society Tournament

2006 Results

The Lifetime Center at AMC played host one again to Competing For A Cure, a fundraising event benefiting the local chapter of the American Cancer Society (ACS), on October 5-8.  This multi sport event features a Tennis Tournament, Racquetball Tournament, 5K Race, and a Participant/Sponsor Reception with Silent Auction.  All proceeds from the sporting events and silent auction are donated to the ACS.

Last year’s sponsors, Augusta Medical Center, The Lifetime Center at AMC, the Staunton Waynesboro Augusta Tennis Association, Jim Snead Ford, and Davis Professional Tennis joined forces again this year, and along with 44 event partners that made donations to the silent auction, set a goal of exceeding last years $5,323 donation .  Besting last years donation by $2,092, a total of $7,415 was raised for the ACS in this years event.

It is estimated that cancer will take the lives of over 14,120 Virginians in 2006.  Most of us will at some point in our lifetime be affected by this disease either directly or indirectly, which is why events like this one ar so important.  The ACS was the biggest winner of this event, but there were also many other winners throughout the weekend.
