Rally for the Cure is a grassroots program that works to spread awareness about breast health and breast cancer in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure through volunteer organized golf, tennis and social events.
More than 1.65 million people have participated in Rally for the Cure events across the nation since its inception in 1996. This year marks the first year Diamondback has been involved.
“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 Brian Snyder, of Diamondback Golf Course.
The mission of Rally for the Cure is to empower people to join 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.
Since 1996, Komen has received over $50 million from Rally events to support their mission. Rally for the Cure is based in Wilton, Conn.
