LI Breast Cancer Coalition To Host Golf Outing, Fitness Fundraisers

BABYLON, NY — Whether you're a golfer or simply looking to get outside, Long Islanders can soon enjoy a summer day while giving back.

The Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition, a non-profit organization that aims to support those affected by breast and gynecological cancer, will be hosting two fundraising events — a golf outing and a boot camp class — on Thursday, July 21.

The "2nd Annual Golf Classic", in partnership with Performax Physical Therapy and Wellness, will take place at Timber Point Golf Course, located at 398 Great River Rd, Great River. Registration and breakfast begins at 7 a.m., and shotgun tee-off will occur at 8 a.m.

The outing fee is $200 per golfer, and the event will also include a 50/50 raffle, lunch, longest drive hole, closest to the pin, beat the punisher, and an after party at Lion's Den, located at 191 Higbie Lane in West Islip.

Participants can call 631-586-6616, Option 7, for additional information; ask for Jessica.

All of the golf outing proceeds will benefit the Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition and the Women of West Islip.

Later that day, the coalition, in partnership with Total Body Boot Camp and Performance Center, will host "Give Cancer the Boot" workout fundraiser. The class will take place at Babylon Town Hall Park on the Great Lawn, located at 200 E Sunrise Highway in Lindenhurst, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The workout will be full body and include core training as well as cardio. Each exercise will have three levels of options, a press release said, so all fitness levels can participate.

Participants will pay a $20 fee and are encouraged to bring a towel or mat.

All of the boot camp's proceeds will benefit the coalition's Lend a Helping Hand program. Participants can call 631-893-4110 for more info or to pre-register. Walk-ins are also welcome.
