Erin Reed and her sisters Victoria and Moira have raised $112,300 over the last 15 years through the Ta’s Memorial Charity Golf Classic held each August in Mt. Airy, MD that benefits the Alliance. Erin and her sisters started the tournament 15 years ago in memory of their mother who they lost to ovarian cancer. In 2015, the golf tournament raised over $10,000 alone. Each golfer is given a symptom card with the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. The tournament has helped raise awareness and made an impact on the work we do here at the Alliance.
