3rd annual event on Monday, June 2, to support Berkshire Medical Center Breast Imaging Services and Berkshire United Way.

As the world celebrates Women's History Month, the Red Tee Tournament Committee celebrates the announcement of the third annual all women’s golf event.

“This is not your father’s or grandfather’s golf tournament. It’s a great day to focus on women and all that these nonprofits do to help women and girls in our community,” said Jen Glockner, chair of the Red Tee Committee.

Sponsored by Berkshire Money Management, the tournament will be held on Monday, June 2 at Berkshire Hills Country Club in Pittsfield. Proceeds from the tournament will be divided between Berkshire United Way and Berkshire Medical Center Breast Imaging Services.

"I'm proud that we stand United with the Red Tee Committee in our shared commitment to support the empowerment, development, and well-being of girls and women in Berkshire County,” said Berkshire United Way President and CEO Tom Bernard.

“Berkshire Medical Center’s Breast Imaging Program is and has been an essential resource for the community in our efforts to reduce breast cancer deaths and improve survivorship through early detection,” said Caitlin Lopez, MD, BMC Radiology Department Chair. “On behalf of the many thousands of patients we serve in the Berkshires and surrounding region, I want to express our greatest appreciation to the Red Tee Tournament organizers and participants for their support of the BMC Breast Imaging Program.”

The tournament features 27 teams playing in a scramble format with a 9 a.m. shotgun start, followed by a networking event 3-5 p.m. with DJ BFG, dinner, cash bar and raffles. The registration fee is $150 per player and includes the post-golf event. Tickets for the networking event are $40 and will be sold separately.
