If it wasn’t for your hard work, the Calgary Health Region would not have over $100,000 in three years. When you think about that, it’s inspiring. So I know you’re exhausted but I just have to say, GOOD JOB & CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! It was a spectacular, well-run event with terrific extras that made it special for everyone.

it was a GREAT experience and well worth the drive! Everything was so well organized and top notch in every way. Every one was there for a good time and that was definitely experienced by all. Thanks to the Pink Ring committee for all your hard work! You can count on the Edmonton girls being at the next Pink Ring for sure =) Thanks

Thanks so much for all the great pictures to add to our memories. Thanks as well to you and the rest of the committee for all your hard work. I really appreciate it. I think this is the only place a player my age and my caliber can actually play and feel like I am making a difference. The Pink Ring is something I look forward to all year, playing with players of all skill levels just for the love of the game and to help fight breast cancer. When I put on my Pink Ring jersey I feel what it must feel like to be in the Olympics. I am proud to know all of you & I thank you for the opportunity to play the game I love & do my little part to help. The smiles on all the faces in the pictures tell it all. A great day & a great cause!!!

Thanks and see you next year
