Steeplechase Cancer Center
LPGA tour players Song-Hee Kim, Belen Mozo, Sun Young Yoo visited the Steeplechase Cancer Center during the 2011 Sybase Match Play Championship. The ladies had the opportunity to choose a ribbon that represents a specific cancer that resonated with them and placed it on a wall with other ribbons from family members of cancer patients. The players also participated in a yoga class with cancer survivors.
