Women's Heart Health The second annual "Tee It Up Fore Red" Golf Tournament in September at Providence Country Club in Charlotte raised more than $15,000 for the American Heart Association and "Go Red For Women" campaign. The event was sponsored by the 18-Hole Ladies Golf Association at Providence Country Club, and organized by Gaye Noguchi, Linda Lawlor and Marlene Ebert. Heart disease is the number one killer of women, more than the next three causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer. More info: www.goredforwomen.org.
