Over 160 women golfers took to the links in Door County and did not let a cloudy, cool afternoon dampen their spirits during Monday's benefit golf outing for two organizations. The 16th annual Queen for a Day golf outing to benefit Door CANcer Inc. and the David Spude Cancer Center Fund was held at Idlewild Golf Course and featured a nine-hole scramble followed by a dinner and award ceremony. Barth Guilette, co-organizer and one of over 30 volunteers, says the turnout Monday, despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions, was a testament to everyone's love for donating their time and money to two important causes.
Guilette estimates that the Queen for a Day golf outing raised $36,000 this year and has donated about a half million dollars in the past 16 years. Door CANcer serves Door County residents with financial needs for cancer treatments. The David Spude Cancer Center Fund was created through the Door County Medical Foundation to ensure cancer treatments are available to all at the Door County Cancer Center.
