RALLY HISTORY

Launched in 1996, the Rally for the Cure® program, presented by Golf For Women magazine, has raised awareness of breast cancer and taken the life-saving message of early detection to hundreds of thousands of active women. In the first year, Rally celebrated modest success in registering 356 clubs and providing breast cancer awareness information to 16,278 participants. Today, 145 of these original clubs continue to participate with 20 of the original volunteer Ambassadors still hosting the event!

In 2006, the program registered more than 3,300 clubs and gained participation of over 180,000 golfers for this grassroots awareness and early detection campaign. Eleven years and one million golfers later, this awareness campaign continues to grow.

Rally for the Cure® works together with Susan G. Komen for the Cure in its mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. Fundraising events, held in conjunction with the Rally awareness program, have resulted in nearly $30 million ($7.3 million in 2006 alone) to support the mission of Komen for the Cure. These outstanding results were made possible in large measure through the hard work, dedication and determination of Rally Ambassadors and their committees.
