special guest, Ronda Haines, a local cancer survivor who shared her
highly inspirational story with those in attendance for the tournament
banquet. Ronda shared her story about not only her battle with
cancer, but her daughter, Haylee’s, battle with the disease as
well. She also expressed her appreciation of the help and
support from the local Cancer Association.
Ed Curry, chairman on the committee stated that the goal of the
tournament is two-fold: To raise money for the Cancer Association
and also to raise awareness of the association and their services to
Darke County cancer patients. The tournament for 2015 will be
held on July 20 at Turtle Creek Golf Course.
$ 19,000 in proceeds from the Annie Oakley Golf Tournament was
presented to the local and independent Cancer Association of Darke

that the Annie Oakley Golf Committee puts in to the yearly
tournament. “Local cancer patients have been greatly helped in
several ways because of the dedication and generosity of people like
this in the Darke County area.”

cancer office and speak with the director or leave a message if the
