District 4 has targeted Breast Cancer as the focal point for our fund-raising efforts.

Golf Tournaments - Eleven Zonta clubs in Canada host 9 "women's only" golf tournaments in early summer to raise funds for breast cancer. The initative began in Kitchener-Waterloo in 1992 when a charter member of that club, Betty Thompson, a local television celebrity, contracted breast cancer. She went very public with her disease, wanting to heighten awareness and much needed funding. Her club responded, and the first Betty Thompson Golf Classic began. Soon other Zonta Clubs took up the challenge. Since that time, over $1,250,000 US has ben raised for the fight against breast cancer. Moneys are contributed locally by each club for research, supportive care, equipment, education and other services.
