Swing for the Lowcountry, a Daniel Island-based 501(c)(3) charity, announced today its annual event "The Swing” will be held on Monday, October 28th, 2024, at the Daniel Island Club (600 Island Park Drive). The breast cancer nonprofit has set a goal to raise $300,000 during the one-day fundraiser to provide financial assistance to local women undergoing treatment for breast cancer at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center. Event attendees contribute to the cause by playing golf, pickleball, and tennis; and/or attending a luncheon that day.
“We are thrilled that our Daniel Island neighbors have decided to partner with us to provide funds for underserved patients who need financial help when they are facing a breast cancer diagnosis,” said MUSC Hollings Cancer Center Director Raymond N. DuBois, M.D., Ph.D. “This type of grassroots effort truly makes a difference in our community, and we are very grateful.”
Swing for the Lowcountry President Lori Bayer emphasized, “The funds we raise help these patients fill their gas tanks, pay for groceries and childcare, and keep the lights and phones on while they are undergoing care for breast cancer. $.90 of every $1 we spend is directly spent on a breast cancer patient.”
The Swing is more than just a fundraiser; it's a celebration of life, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit. This remarkable event not only raises vital funds but also uplifts spirits and fosters a sense of camaraderie. The Swing is a day filled with unity, celebration, and a shared commitment to making a difference. This LADIES’ ONLY day out caters to a diverse range of interests. Whether you're an avid golfer aiming for that perfect swing, a tennis enthusiast seeking a thrilling rally, or a pickleball lover ready for a friendly match, there's something for everyone. Beyond sports, it's a day of stories, laughter, and forging connections with like-minded individuals. The day culminates with a beautiful catered lunch for 300 women in the Daniel Island Club's ballroom with incredible raffle drawings, silent and live auction.
The event has sold out 3 years straight. Registration opens on Monday, October 7th at 7:00am EST on theswing.org.
