Alabama NewsCenter — Festivities in Can’t Miss Alabama support breast cancer research

By Shirley Jackson

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
For decades, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama (BCRFA) has raised funding for the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center and collaborative partners. Funds raised by the BCRFA remain in Alabama to support local research, which in turn makes a national impact.

BCRFA kickoff events include:

DISC Golf Goes Pink: Play rounds of golf Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Oliver Park and George W. Roy Recreational Park in Calera. Awards will be given in every category that includes at least three players at 4:30 p.m. in Oliver Park. At each course, lunch will be available for purchase from food trucks.

Cahabaque: Join Cahaba Brewing Co. Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. for barbecue, beer and bragging rights at its annual barbecue cookoff benefiting BCRFA. Try all-you-can-eat samples from each team’s barbecue offerings and vote for your favorite while enjoying craft beer and live music. A bounce house and activities will be available in the kids zone for the little ones.

During October, stay tuned for events affiliated with BCRFA.
