On July 20 – 21, Superior National at Lutsen is hosting a Rally for the Cure women’s 18-hole scramble. The rally is a fundraiser intended to increase breast cancer awareness and mammography screenings to ensure early detection. More than 2 million people have participated in rally events—golf, tennis and social events—across the nation since its inception in 1996. This is the seventh year that golfers have gathered at Superior National at Lutsen to rally against breast cancer.
At press time Superior National had 70 participants registered for the Rally and the golf course invites last minute participants. The activities start on Saturday, July 20 with a social hour. On Sunday, July 21 there is a 10 a.m. shotgun start.
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the event and each golfer receives a goody bag filled with important breast health information and some fun rally items.
“We are proud to open our facility and host a Rally for a 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,” said Heath Ekstrom, PGA member and rally ambassador.
Golfers have a great time as they spread across the golf course greens in their primarily pink attire. Many teams dress in a theme for the day on the links. Everyone has a good time.
“The success of the rally is attributed to volunteer ambassadors like Heath who have said ‘It will 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,” said Diane Perillo, program manager, Rally for the Cure.
