The 4th Annual Breast Cancer Benefit "Breast Fest" was a huge success! 

With a net total in excess of $38,000.00 the 2005 Breast Fest was the biggest to date.  The 5K walk contributed substantially to the total with the walkers adding to the total with sponsor money.  The team that raised the most was The "Step Sisters" who raised in excess of $3,000.00 and Julie Matthews was the individual with the highest total in excess of $1,500.00.  The teams with the largest number of participants were the "Pine Island Babes" and the "Sycamorians".

As in past years the event would not be possible without the generous help of so many people in the Pine Island, Cape Coral, Ft. Myers and Punta Gorda areas.  Thank you to all the musicians that donated their time and talent and to the merchants, restaurants, churches and individuals that without whose help the event would not exist.

The most enjoyable part of putting on an event such as the Breast Cancer Benefit is giving the money to a worthy cause after it is all over.  At our regular meeting April 11th we were privileged to be able to present a check for $35,000.00 to Partners for Breast Cancer Care. They are a unique organization that is worthy of as much help that we can give them as they give back a lot more than they are given.  We are proud to be associated with such a wonderful organization.
