Raise a Racquet for the Charleston Breast Center
Friday, September 19th, the Charleston Breast Center partnered with the Daniel lsland Club to host the first annual tennis tournament and celebration party: Raise a Racquet for the Charleston Breast Center. Festivities officially started out on Friday night with singles and doubles matches and a complimentary cookout for players at the Daniel Island Park Club cabana bar. Samplings of silent auction items were on display so guests could get a sneak peek before Saturday night’s event.
On Saturday, guests got to enjoy a pink-themed celebration party and silent auction at the Three Lions Pub at Blackbaud Stadium. Tennis enthusiasts showed up to this casual affair, some of whom were exhausted from playing earlier that day, but were ready to bid and eat. Conversation was all about the matches from earlier that day: the good, the bad, and the ugly. During the party, I had the opportunity to speak with CBC co-founder Lisa Baron, and I must say she changed my life during our brief conversation. I did not realize that breast cancer many young women. She also saw that the process women had to go through to receive care was very disjointed and hard to coordinate and that was the main reason she and her husband started the CBC.
