Rally for the Cure® and Golf Prince Edward Island partner to raise awareness for breast cancer.
WILTON, CT – Rally for the Cure® and Golf Prince Edward Island have joined forces to raise awareness in the fight against breast cancer through volunteer organized golf events in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
Rally for the Cure, the cause-marketing arm of Condé Nast, is a grass roots program that works to spread awareness about breast health and breast cancer through volunteer organized golf and tennis events. Rally has been a partner of Komen for the Cure since 1996 and has generated over $50 million for valuable research and community outreach helping Komen advance their mission.
As a partner, Golf PEI will provide a golf getaway for two to Prince Edward Island as well as additional travel savings for Rally to reward current and/or new event Ambassadors.
“It is an ideal partnership since Rally for the Cure is starting to target golf facilities in Canada as potential host sites,” says Rally Program Manager Diane Perillo. “Rally participants are passionate golfers and to give them an opportunity to golf in Prince Edward Island is truly amazing and we are excited about this venture.”
“Partnering with Golf PEI is a natural fit for Rally for the Cure. Both of our organizations promote the game of golf and combining a sport you enjoy with a purpose behind it is a win-win for everyone,” said US Business Development Consultant Jeff Leishman, “we are thrilled to introduce our world class destination to such a huge segment of the North American market, while supporting such an important a cause”.
