PORT ANGELES — Free items, cookies and pink jewelry and clothing will be offered at a Pink Up Port Angeles table at the Concert on the Pier tonight.
The Concert on the Pier will begin at 6 p.m. on the stage at the pier at the foot of Lincoln Street.
While Strait Shots performs classic rock ’n’ roll on stage, members of Soroptimist International of Port Angeles-Noon Club will hand out goodies as well as information on cancer detection, prevention and treatment at the table.
The event is one of several in the Soroptimists’ weeklong fundraiser, which began Friday, to benefit Operation Uplift, a Port Angeles-based nonprofit cancer support group.
On Thursday will be Pink Up’s biggest fundraising event — a spaghetti dinner at Chestnut Cottage, 929 E. Front St.
The meal from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. will feature “waiters” who are noted members of the community.
They will compete for tips as they serve a $10 dinner of salad, garlic bread and spaghetti.
All tips are donated to Operation Uplift.
Dessert, wine and beer will be available for an additional fee.
A gift basket worth more than $400 from Franni’s Gift Expressions will be raffled. Tickets are $1 each.
On Friday will be the 11th annual Soroptimist Golf Tournament at the Peninsula Golf Club, 824 S. Lindberg Road.
It will begin with a shotgun start at noon.
The cost is $95, or $60 for members of the golf club.
Prizes will be awarded for a hole-in-one, closest to the pin and longest drive.
To register or for more information, phone Jacob Lippold at the club at 360-457-6501.
At the tournament, the drawing will be held for a raffle of a queen-sized quilt created by Rita Rudder.
Raffle tickets for the hand-stitched quilt, made with a lot of pink and in a cancer survivor theme, are $5 or three for $10.
Tickets are available from Soroptimists members and will be available at all the fundraising events.
On Saturday, Soroptimists will “de-pink” Port Angeles, taking down the ribbons that were tied throughout town last weekend.
The all-volunteer-run Operation Uplift, founded in 1983, provides services and information to cancer survivors in the local area.
