Pink Ribbon (snooker)

The Pink Ribbon is a pro–am snooker tournament that was initially held at The Capital Venue in Gloucester, England. Established in 2010, the tournament raised funds for breast cancer charities and had the players all wear pink shirts to show their support.^[1][2] Stuart Bingham was the final champion in the initial run.
