The Halifax Plantation Women's Golf Association hosted a golf tournament scramble with 108 players on Oct. 15 and donated $5,144 to help fight breast cancer locally.
The funds raised by this third-annual event benefited both Florida Hospital Flagler and Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach. The donation will help to provide mammograms and other diagnostic procedures to local women in need through the Florida Hospital Pink Army.
“We are so grateful and thrilled by the continued support from the Halifax Plantation Women's Golf Association and the Halifax Plantation community,” said John Subers, executive director of the Florida Hospital Foundations in Volusia and Flagler counties.

Ormond Beach Mayor Ed Kelley released a statement on Nov. 16 saying he agrees with Governor Scott’s proposed reforms for Enterprise Florida, the state’s economic development organization.
The reforms involve creating a $250 million Florida Enterprise Fund that would replace the existing escrow account, allowing the state to earn more interest.
The approval process would also be streamlined, with approval for projects over $1 million needed from speaker of the house, senate president and governor, rather than going through committees. Companies must meet job creation goals to receive money from the fund.
“Enterprise Florida has been instrumental in creating jobs in our community, such as SKYO Industries and Playtex Mfg.,” Kelley said.
