About The Links, Inc. 

Welcome to the website for the Pensacola Chapter of The Links, Inc.  The Pensacola Chapter was established November 25, 1972.   We will commemorated our 45th anniversary in 2017 by honoring our Charter members, acknowledging talented youth from the Pensacola community, thanking our community of supporters for their loyalty over four decades and five, and enjoying fellowship with members, friends, and family.  

 

 For the fifth year, we partnered with Boston's Scientific Close the Gap and Cardiology Consultants of Pensacola and join countless others in celebrating Heart Health Month during February by raising the awareness of warning signs and healthy eating habits to help prevent heart disease, the number one killer of women.
