CELEBRATION, FLORIDA – November 18, 2008: Tempus Resorts International today presented the American Cancer Society with a donation of $30,805 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” annual 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 lunches, commemorative pink ribbon sales, “pink and blue jeans days”, and other events.
The campaign culminated in the company’s fourth annual “Pink Ribbon Golf Classic” on October 17, 2008 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 followed by a reception and silent auction.
“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 $100,000 donated to the American Cancer Society since the inaugural campaign in 2005.
