The Achimota Golf Club Ladies Section has raised GH¢96,960.44 towards the procurement of breast cancer equipment for Korle Bu Teaching Hospital through the 2026 Ocean Network Express (ONE) Pink Cup Tournament.
The tournament was held on Saturday, October 17, at Achimota Golf Club in Accra, bringing together golfers, corporate sponsors and health advocates to promote breast cancer awareness and encourage early detection.
Led by Lady Captain Kous Louanges Mang, the event exceeded its golfer participation target and more than doubled the contribution raised compared with the previous year.
The funds were presented through a dummy cheque, with title sponsor Ocean Network Express (ONE) supporting the initiative to advance breast cancer care at the hospital.
The event was attended by the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, who joined efforts to highlight the importance of collective action in addressing breast cancer.
Ahead of the tournament, the club organised a Community Pink Clinic on October 10, offering general health screening and promoting preventive healthcare.
The Ladies Section acknowledged the support of its sponsors and partners, including ONE, KEK Group, Japan Motors, CalBank, Accelerate, Fairway Golf Academy, Destinations au Soleil, NZ Wine GH, Breast Care International, Claron Health International and Ignite Group.
Media partners Metro TV, Joy News and Citi FM were also recognised for helping raise awareness of the initiative.
Lady Captain Kous Louanges Mang expressed appreciation to the club’s leadership, organising committee, volunteers, participating golfers and other supporters who contributed to the success of the event.
She stressed that the Pink Cup was a collective effort involving the entire club and its partners, rather than an initiative limited to the Ladies Section.
The annual tournament combines golf with public health advocacy and fundraising, with the aim of supporting healthcare institutions and people affected by breast cancer.
