WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Area golfers swung
into action to help out local cancer patients. In its 19th year, Tee Off
Fore the Girls raised more than $23,000 for Aspirus Riverview Foundation’s
Women’s Cancer Patient Fund.
Organized by the
Ladies of Lake Arrowhead, the September golf outing and luncheon attracted 180
participants. The festivities also included a basket raffle, silent auction,
fashion show, butterfly release, and cart-decorating contest.

Care-Wisconsin Rapids with costs related to their treatment for which there are
no other resources available. Typical examples include nutrition supplements,
transportation to appointments, Home Delivered Meals, grocery cards, utility
and rent assistance, and more.
