Archbold Classic
Monday, Nov. 9
Glen Arven Country Club
Thomasville
In its 20-year history, the Archbold Classic Golf Tournament has raised over $1.7 million in
support of the Archbold Scholarship program. These competitive scholarships provide
important financial support for deserving students who are pursuing degrees in nursing
or other health care related fields.
By far our most popular fundraiser, this year’s Classic promises to be another great day of
fun and fellowship on the historic Glen Arven Country Club golf course in Thomasville. The
Classic brings in professionals from the PGA, Seniors and Web.com tours to play alongside our
amateur players, making it a unique experience for all involved. Past professional participants
have gone on to great fame and fortune on the PGA tour, including Bubba Watson, Harris
English, Chris DiMarco and Jason Dufner.
Please join us for another great event in November. For more information on sponsorship
opportunities or to register to play in the Classic, please contact the Archbold Foundation at

A Pink Affair
Friday, Oct. 23
Singletary Oncology Center
Thomasville
A Pink Affair is Archbold’s annual fashion show
fundraiser, featuring local cancer survivors as
models. Proceeds help fund the purchase of new
3-D mammography equipment for the Archbold
Women’s Center. This three-dimensional
mammography allows radiologists to examine
breast tissue in clearer, three-dimensional detail
and potentially detect breast cancer earlier, when
treatment is most effective.
Corporate and individual sponsorship
opportunities are available for the event. For
sponsorship information, please call the Archbold
Foundation at 229.228.2924 or visit www
If you or someone
you know is a cancer survivor and interested
in modeling in A Pink Affair, please call Debbie
Beeson, breast cancer navigator at the Singletary
Oncology Center, at 229.584.5445.
