Superior National at Lutsen has 70 participants signed up for the Rally for the Cure Women’s 18-hole scramble on July 14 – 15. One of them is Nancy Hansen of Lutsen who was among several golfers promoting the event in the Tofte 4th of July parade.
Superior National at Lutsen is hosting a Rally for the Cure® Women’s 18-hole Scramble July 14 – 15. Rally for the Cure is a grass-roots program that works to increase breast self-awareness and mammography screening rates to ensure the early detection of breast cancer through volunteer organized golf, tennis and social events. More than two million people have participated in Rally events across the nation since its inception in 1996. This year marks the 6th year Superior National has rallied against breast cancer.
Superior National has 70 participants registered for this year’s Rally and invites the public to take part. At press time space was still available.
The two days’ activities include a golf clinic and social hour on Saturday the 14th. On Sunday, July 15 there is a 10:00 a.m. golf shotgun. Prizes will be awarded following the event and each participant will receive a goody bag with important breast health information and other Rally items plus a subscription to a select Condé Nast magazine such as SELF, Golf Digest and Bon Appétit.
“We are proud to open our facility and host a Rally for the Cure event. The event is a fun way for us to bring together our members and the community to support an important cause while playing a sport they are passionate about,” stated Heath Ekstrom, PGA member and Rally ambassador.
The mission of Rally for the Cure is to empower people to take action in the fight against breast cancer by providing a platform for them to educate their family, friends and community on the importance of early detection through an activity they are passionate about.
“The success of Rally is attributed to volunteer ambassadors like Heath, who have said, ‘It would be an honor to have a Rally at our club’. It is their enthusiasm, energy and support we value in our commitment to support Susan G. Komen,” says Diane Perillo, Rally for the Cure program manager.
Since 1996 Komen has received over $65 million from fundraising activities at Rally events to help fund lifesaving breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment programs. Rally for the Cure® is based in Wilton, Connecticut. For further information about Superior National’s Rally event, go to www.superiornational/ tournaments or contact 218-663-7195.
