PROGRAM DETAILS
About The Program
Rally for the Cure®
is a partnership with Golf For Women magazine, Susan
G. Komen for the Cure, the volunteer Ambassadors and
the participants. Since it's inception in 1996, this
awareness-driven campaign has spread the life-saving
message of early detection to more than one million
active Rally for the Cure® participants
and to the people in their lives. In 2006, more than
3,300 Rally Ambassadors signed up over 180,000 golfers
who became first-hand recipients of the important messages
about early detection.
How Rally for the Cure® Works
It's easy to Rally! A coordinator
at Rally Headquarters will help guide you, the volunteer
Rally "Ambassador" through the process. Your
club designates a date as the group's Rally for the
Cure® day. The event may be part of a
regular play day, an existing tournament or you can
hold a tournament designed especially for Rally for
the Cure®.
Participants pay a $20 entry fee, automatically
entering them in the closest-to-the-pin contest at your
club's designated par-3 hole. The
$20 entry fee is for U.S. events only, the entry fee
in Canada is $32 U.S. dollars. The Rally
will award the winner of each closest-to-the-pin contest
a significant golf prize, such as a golf club or a gift
certificate for a pair of golf shoes. Most importantly,
all participants receive detailed breast cancer awareness
materials from Komen for the Cure, as well as a
pin - designed exclusively for Rally for the Cure®
- featuring the symbolic pink ribbon wrapped around
a golf club.
The entry fee also entitles all participants to receive a one-year subscription to Golf For Women magazine, helping further the Rally for the Cure® mission to disseminate information about breast cancer and reinforce the awareness and early detection messages that save lives.
