Over the past three years, with nearly 750 total tournament participants, RFP has proudly donated $75,000 to a major cancer research group, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Their goal this year was to surpass last years Tournament/Auction total  and reach the total of $100,000 donated to the BCRF.  The Southern California-based RFP was founded as a non-profit organization four years ago after its executive directors and board members experienced countless family and friends being diagnosed with breast cancer.

RFP started as a group of women who initially met playing Bunko, a dice game.  They decided to do their part to help the cause in the most fun way they knew how - a big Bunko tournament.

Sue Stonehouse, Founder and Executive Director, Rolling For Pink, said: “We are very excited for this year's event. I think it is going to be the best one yet. We have amazing attendees that come back year after year and very loyal and generous sponsors. Our RFP group may be a small group but we are BIG fighters and yes, cancer struck us but we won’t let cancer beat us. 

In addition to the near 300 attendees, major sponsors this year include JIM's, New Balance Outlet, Presto Pasta, Olas, Golden Spoon, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Margarita Man, POP Chips and Seal Methods Inc.

The event will be held on Saturday, June 23 from 1:00 to 5:00 PM in Camarillo. The cost of the event is $75 for an individual or $65 per person for a group of two or more. The fee includes food, drinks, bunko tournament, live music and a chance to win $2500 cash prize.

All net proceeds from the tournament will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
