“B.E.E.P. would like to thank David Williams, Cecil Barnett, John Waller, Richard Mun and Hunter Walls of the DSU Golf Course for their assistance in making this tournament such a fun experience for everyone while raising funds for such a worthy cause,” said Bailey. “I would like to thank Wylie Hilburn for providing the delicious fish fry. The tournament would also not have been possible without the assistance from the sponsors and the people participating in the tournament. DSU is very fortunate to have such a wonderful facility as the Darrell Foreman Golf Course to serve the college and the community.”
B.E.E.P. is funded through a grant from the Central Mississippi Steel Magnolias affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. B.E.E.P. participates in Breast Cancer Awareness events and provides breast health education throughout Bolivar, Sunflower, Washington and surrounding counties. The project also provides funding for clinical exams, mammograms and ultrasounds for women who have limited income, are uninsured or underinsured, and have limited access to preventative healthcare.
All proceeds from the tournament will go to support B.E.E.P. and will provide breast cancer screenings for project participants.
