(Hammond, LA) -- The Ladies Golf Association of Oak Knoll Country Club has donated $7,000 to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center from a tournament the association recently hosted to support the Center's mission.

"So many women in our area have been affected by breast cancer," said Barnes. "This tournament was an opportunity for us to raise awareness and funds to help fight this horrible disease." Barnes extended her thanks to sponsors, Oak Knoll Country Club and Ladies Golf Association and the many volunteers who made the tournament a tremendous success.

"Josie and the ladies on her committee did a wonderful job," said Jenni O'Neil, development officer, Mary Bird Perkins. "We are extremely grateful for such a generous donation."

Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center has been fighting cancer for over 35 years with locations in Baton Rouge, Covington, Hammond, Houma and Gonzales. It has comprehensive cancer programs with Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge and St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington. These programs are accredited by the American College of Surgeons -- the gold standard for community-based cancer care. For more information visit www.marybird.org.
