CELEBRATION, FLORIDA – October 25, 2007: Tempus Resorts International today presented the American Cancer Society with a donation of $28,500 as a result of the company’s recent "Pink Ribbon" fundraising events in support of the American Cancer Society’s "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" 2007 campaign.
Tempus Resorts’ month-long fundraising efforts included a variety of employee activities to raise money and awareness about the need for continued support of breast cancer research. Fundraising activities included bake sales, themed fundraising lunches, pink ribbon sales, "pink and blue jeans days", and other events.
The month-long campaign culminated in the company’s third annual "Pink Ribbon Golf Classic" on October 12, 2007 at Mystic Dunes Golf Club, part of the Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club which is owned and operated by Tempus Resorts. Sponsored by Winter Park Construction and with the generous support of many of the company’s business partners and vendors, the tournament provided participants a great day of golf and camaraderie followed by a reception and silent auction. Distinguished guest Vanessa Echols, news anchor for WFTV Channel 9, attended the post-tournament reception and shared her personal insights and inspiration as a breast cancer survivor.
"We are proud of our company’s commitment to community service, and we look forward to continuing our support of the American Cancer Society and other causes that touch the lives of so many here in the Central Florida community", said Roger Farwell, President & CEO of Tempus Resorts International.
Tempus Resorts’ "Pink Ribbon" campaign has become one of the company’s signature annual community service initiatives, with over $70,000 donated to the American Cancer Society since the inaugural campaign in 2005.
