Apartment Association of Greater Augusta raised $22,195.39 during its annual Tee Off Fore Tatas golf tournament supporting breast cancer awareness.
 
The tournament took place Oct. 6 at Jones Creek Golf Club. Thirty teams played in the tournament, an increase from seventeen last year.
 
Proceeds go to breast cancer research at the Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta University. A check presentation will take place at the center on the afternoon of Oct. 30.
 
AAGA doubled its $10,000 goal, taking its lifetime total of funds donated to the Georgia Cancer Center to $82,200.63.
 
The golf tournament began in 2006, initially raising money for various charities in the Central Savannah River Area. In 2010 it officially changed its name to Tee Off Fore Tatas to focus on raising awareness and support for breast cancer research.
 
Tee Off Fore Tatas takes place each year in October to celebrate breast cancer awareness month. Plans for the 2018 tournament are already taking place.
 
American Painting & Renovations Inc., Chartwell Management, Landscape Management Services Inc., South State Bank and Walton Communities sponsored this year’s tournament at the corporate level.
