DEBARY, Fla., February 14, 2017 The Debary Golf and Country Club Women's Golf Association donated more than $3,000 to the Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Foundation.

The funds were raised during a golf tournament in October and will support local residents in the fight against breast cancer.

We thank Adrienne Polon and her outstanding team who worked tirelessly to make this their most successful event yet for the Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Foundation, said Maureen Mercho, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Foundation executive director. The funds they raised will have such a life-changing impact on cancer patients in our local community.
