The Concord Country Club is hosting multiple activities on Sunday, Sept. 28, that will benefit two charities devoted to the fight against breast cancer.

A morning golf outing and afternoon tennis round robin will be followed by cocktails, dinner, raffles and a live and silent auction on the patio. The proceeds will benefit Play for P.I.N.K., an organization that funds breast cancer research, and Cuddle My Kids, a nonprofit dedicated to serving as an in-home resource for parents battling the disease.

Marcy Lynch said she and fellow club member Pat Laird, both breast-cancer survivors, began the Concord Charity Event four years ago as a “way to give back” by supporting Play for P.I.N.K, which funds the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

This year, the club’s events committee took over, “kicking it up a notch,” Lynch said. In addition to adding a second beneficiary, Lynch said a live auction will complement the event and will include some spectacular items, including an $8,000 sofa and vacations.

The tennis round robin is named in memory of Mimi Murray, a longtime member of the club. Murray worked as a dietitian, a profession that took her to places such as Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, where she often donned her signature carrot slippers and fruit and vegetable-adorned jewelry to counsel students about good nutrition. Murray died of breast cancer in 2011.

The event is open only to members; however, they are encouraged to bring guests. Reservations are required for the golf, tennis or dinner component - or any combination of the three.
