Save the date for the 2022 Bourbon for Boobs event, a night of food, music and custom-crafted bourbon cocktails – all included with your ticket purchase! The third annual event will take place Thursday, Oct. 20 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Cowboy Up – Greenville on Easley Bridge Road in downtown Greenville. The event will also feature a silent and live auction. The event was started in honor of Sammie Sweeney-Ferrigan, who fought stage 4 breast cancer for six years before succumbing to the illness. Now her daughter, Melissa Morrell, hosts this annual event in her honor.

“She is the reason I’m doing this. In some form or fashion, I have been involved in breast cancer awareness and support since my mother was diagnosed in 2008. It took on new life upon her death because it was even more important for me to continue to honor her fight and her legacy,” said Melissa Morrell, founder and organizer of the Bourbon for Boobs event. “I pray the cure is found in my lifetime. In the meantime, if I can help raise awareness and funds to help those I know and those I will never meet in my community, I am humbled to do that. That’s the reason I keep going.”

This year’s fundraising goal is $60,000, with 100 percent of the money raised benefiting the Pearlie Harris Center for Breast Health. The money will be used to help underserved women access the screening and diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds and breast MRIs they need.
