The 30th Annual Triumph for the Cure Golf Outing

Community West Foundation brought together supporters of Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital Breast Health Center to fundraise for those facing breast cancer at Triumph for the Cure, a golf event in its 30th year! This was the third year the tournament was held at Topgolf in Independence and for the first time ever the event was SOLD OUT with all thirty-four bays on the third level filled and over 225 people in attendance.

Guests enjoyed a night of golfing along with food, raffles, and blinky golf ball cups which were a big hit among attendees.
