CRESSWIND FOR THE CURE

In the Pink

STAY TUNED REGARDING WEATHER

🌸 Good Morning “CRESSWIND FOR THE CURE” Team Members 🌸

As we head into the weekend, I want to acknowledge that the weather forecast is looking less than ideal for our walk. Please keep in mind the guidance from Tidelands Health:

“We’ll make every effort to hold In the Pink as scheduled so long as it’s safe to do so. Should weather conditions prevent the walk from being held, it won’t be rescheduled. Registration fees are a non-refundable donation to the Tidelands Health breast care fund.”

As of now, the walk is still scheduled to take place.

In the event of cancellation, I’d still love for us to gather Saturday morning at the clubhouse for team photos. Rain or shine, our spirit and unity deserve to be captured and celebrated!

I’ll share any updates regarding the walk as soon as I receive them—both on our community Facebook page and right here on this blog.

Thank you all for your continued support, enthusiasm, and heart. 💖

Good morning CRESSWIND FOR THE CURE Team Members!

I’m thrilled to share that we now have 34 amazing team members signed up to walk with us this Saturday in the 2025 Tideland In The Pink Breast Cancer Walk—and thanks to our generous donors, we’ve raised an incredible $7,300 to support breast cancer awareness and research!💖

Location: Brookgreen Gardens

Team Photo Meet-Up: Please arrive no later than 7:15 a.m. to grab your t-shirt and gather for team photos. My husband and I will be near the t-shirt distribution tent—look for us there!

Gates Open: 7:15 a.m.

Walk Begins: 8:30 a.m.

The walk is approximately one mile. If you’ve registered, we’d love for you to walk with us—but cheering on our walkers is just as powerful!

Let's walk with purpose, celebrate survivors, honor loved ones, and support the fight against breast cancer—together. 💕

We've accomplished an awesome task but still not done!

Good Morning, to my family, friends, and neighbors—we’ve raised an astounding $6,720 to support the fight against breast cancer. This is no small feat, and with just 15 days until our walk, the momentum is truly inspiring.
As team captain, I’m honored and humbled by the outpouring of support for such a worthy cause. Take a moment to reflect on the strength we hold together—the lives we’re touching, the hope we’re spreading, and the legacy we’re building.
Let’s keep walking. Let’s keep giving. Let’s keep believing.
Please continue to spread the word, and if you haven’t yet, consider donating to this cause that brings hope and healing to so many who have faced this devastating disease.
Together, we are making a difference. 💖

$5,250 and climbing—Team CRESSWIND FOR THE CURE is making waves!

Y’all, this is absolutely incredible. Our team, along with our families and friends, has proven that when we unite with purpose, amazing things happen. Every dollar raised is a step closer to better research, better treatment, and brighter futures in the fight against breast cancer.

💗 This isn’t just fundraising—it’s a movement. 💗 This isn’t just a number—it’s hope in action.

Let’s keep the momentum going. Let’s keep showing the world what compassion, determination, and community spirit can do.

A MISSION WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!!

🌸 CRESSWIND FOR THE CURE is on a mission — and we’re so close! 🌸

Thanks to the amazing generosity of our community, we’ve already surpassed our original $3,000 goal and raised $4,775 for the Tidelands Health In the Pink 2025 Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. That’s $4,775 going toward life‑saving screenings, treatments, and support for those battling breast cancer.

Now, we’re just $225 away from reaching $5,000 — and we’d love to cross that finish line in honor of everyone fighting, surviving, and thriving.

Every single donation, no matter the size, helps make a real difference. If you’re able, please consider giving today to help us hit that milestone and bring hope to even more lives. 💕

In the Pink Walk — October 11, 2025 | Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC

Together, we can do this — for the fighters, for the survivors, and for a future without breast cancer. 🎀

NOT DONE YET!

I’ve been thinking about the incredible bunch of residents, family, and friends of Cresswind who’ve so generously contributed to our team, "Cresswind For The Cure". Every day, I get another idea, another tidbit of inspiration, and it’s clear: this community is something special.

What started just three weeks ago has grown into a true passion. I’m beyond proud of what we’ve accomplished—but I’ll be honest, I want more. Not for me, but for the cause. For the fighters, the survivors, and the families who need us.

Let’s band together even tighter as the amazing neighborhood we are and take "Cresswind For The Cure" to the top spot in fundraising for the "
Tidelands "IN THE PINK" Walk for Breast Cancer. We’ve got the heart, the hustle, and the spirit to make it happen.

So THINK PINK, y’all—and let’s keep the fun rolling and the donations flowing!  
 
With gratitude and excitement, 
Doreen Saunders

Cresswind For The Cure: A Triumph of Heart and Hope

Words can’t capture how thrilled we are with our team’s efforts and the incredible donations that have come in so far. Thanks to every one of you, this year’s “Cresswind For The Cure” team didn’t just meet its target—it blew right past it in the fight against breast cancer.

Let's continue the momentum and ride this wave of inspiration. Let's keep the conversation going, support our survivors and strengthen our network of advocates.

Every dollar raised, story shared, and hand lent in support rewrites the future for someone facing breast cancer today. Let’s keep pushing forward, together—our best is yet to come!

Yes, we’ve crushed our goal—but we’re not done yet. Let’s raise the bar, fuel the momentum, and change lives. Together, we’re unstoppable!

We're fundraising for friends & neighbors of Cresswind

Many mornings, as the hot sun rises over our pickleball courts, we gather not just for the love of the game, but for each other. Laughter echoes in every rally, and amid those rallies is the spirit of our dear friend Lisa Carberry—her positive attitude and beautiful laugh remind us how precious each moment is. Though she’d rather be chasing balls with us, Lisa is courageously facing her breast cancer battle, and our hearts walk with her every step of the way.

We also remember Sally Miller, founder of the Cresswind Bridge Group. Sally’s bright smile as she dealt each hand, and her patience teaching newcomers, turned every game into a celebration of community.  Although Sally is no longer with us, she survived her own fight with breast cancer. Sally modeled resilience and hope, inspiring all of us to cherish more days with family and friends.

Beyond Lisa and Sally, there are countless neighbors whose silent battles, rounds of treatment, and unwavering strength shape the heart of Cresswind. Though we cannot name every hero, each one reminds us why every step matters and why we walk together.

Thank you to our Donors
