Noc’N Out Breast Cancer is an initiative that helps raise funds for the Donna Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization that provides needed services to breast cancer patients and helps push for breast cancer research at Mayo Clinic.
The initiative was started by a group of friends within the Nocatee and Ponte Vedra communities that had a common goal and wanted to do their part to help those in need.
They held their second annual wine tasting event at Coastal Wine Market in Nocatee on Sept. 18, and the fun night not only raised awareness for breast cancer and the research being made, but it also raised $1,120 for the Donna Foundation.
According to Robin Robson with Noc’N Out Breast Cancer, it is donations like that which helped the group become the largest donor the Donna Foundation had this year.
The group’s final event of its fundraising calander will be in direct partnership with the Donna Foundation, as they will have a booth and take part in the THE PLAYERS Donna 5k, which will take place at TPC Sawgrass on Oct. 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
It will be the 16th annual event, in which participants get to run or walk around the TPC Sawgrass golf course as it makes up the route for the event.
