Event Information
Established in 2010, Tee up for Cancer is our annual golf event in memory of Connie Rutledge and Marilyn Shipley. All funds raised benefit the Connie Rutledge Legacy Fund(CRLF).
CRLF mission is threefold:
• Assist individuals with financial support to offset the costs of cancer treatments and other expenses when diagnosed with ovarian cancer or undergoing treatments for ovarian cancer (and gynecological cancers).
• Unite with our community and work together to promote awareness of ovarian cancer.
• Financially support research endeavors at the Regional Cancer Research Institutes in connection with ovarian cancer to improve the survival rates for women with ovarian cancer.
Connie was an accomplished teacher, coach and principal. Connie found empowerment when first diagnosed through learning everything she could about this cancer she knew so little about. Connie was motivated by amazing women – who had many different types of gynecological cancers – that she met during their shared battle and saw how all gynecological cancers truly are intertwined. Connie created Tee Up for Cancer as a fun way to engage the community and raise financial support for women impacted by gynecological cancers.
Marilyn Shipley was an independent woman that left an impression on Connie and everyone she met. It may have been her smile, laugh, sense of humor, or the twinkle in her eye. She loved life, her family and friends. During her two year fight with ovarian cancer, her optimism and courage were a great support for others fighting their personal battle; as well as everyone she met and shared her story with. Marilyn passed away on December 30, 2008.
