Join us on Monday, October 28th at Indian Hills Country Club for the fifth annual “Fore the Cure” golf tournament benefiting It’s The Journey, a local 501c3 charitable organization that raises money exclusively for breast health and breast cancer programs in Georgia. This event is chaired by longtime East Cobb residents George and Kathy Bartelme.
“We love that It’s The Journey is a small organization making a big impact in our community. Since 2002, they have funded 335 grants totaling $14 million to support everything from breast exams, screening, diagnostics, genetic counseling and testing, biopsies, support services and to research, all right here in Georgia. As a breast cancer survivor, it meant a lot to me find an organization that was helping the women and men in my community in meaningful, tangible ways,” said Kathy.
The Bartelme support has evolved into an annual golf tournament that is now in its fifth year. The annual “Fore the Cure” golf tournament has raised over $200,000 since 2015. This year the tournament will take place on Monday, October 28th at the Indian Hills Country Club. Registration begins at 9:30 am, with a shotgun start at 11:00 am. Participants will receive the use of a golf cart, lunch, 18 holes of golf, players package and prizes for golf challenges. Individual, foursome, and corporate sponsorships are available as well as donations for the silent auction and in-kind gifts. It is a very fun tournament and players consist of both members/non-members of Indian Hills as well as men and women.
There will also be a silent auction the day of the tournament. Items for auction include golf packages, sports memorabilia, original artwork, themed gift baskets, and more.

It will be a fun day for a good cause! Kathy Bartelme
