Golfing to battle cancer

A few players from the Inshalla Night League in Tomahawk also joined in.
Proceeds from the event will go to the James Beck Cancer Center in Rhinelander and Ties that Bind Us in Tomahawk.
The money helps men and women going through cancer treatment afford a wig or hairpiece.
"It's just one thing that we can do to help them, to make it a little bit easier for them and give them a little more dignity back after what they are going through with their cancer treatment," said organizer Carole Zierden.
Cancer has touched the lives of many of the participants and they've lost a few members to the disease over the years.
"Cancer affects so many different people and I'm sure that if you were to ask a group of individuals in your family or close-knit group of friends 'Has anybody been affected by cancer?' and probably anybody and everybody can raise their hand," Zierden said.
The fundraiser brought in $1,750. The James Beck Cancer Center will receive $1,500 and Ties that Bind Us will receive $250.
The group has raised $12,950 since 2009.
"All of this stuff is made possible through the wonderful community that we live in and through donations and things too from businesses and individuals here in Rhinelander that have supported this every year," Zierden said.
