olf Fore the Cure’s goal is to attract
15,000 participants in order to raise
funds for breast cancer across the
country this golf season.

Subaru Canada is returning as the presenting partner for Golf Fore the Cure (GFTC)
against breast cancer, a battle we are very glad to be involved in. Through a unique
charity partnership structure with the Canadian Cancer Society and the Quebec
Breast Cancer Foundation, women are served all across Canada.
Golf Fore the Cure is all about using the sheer
power of women playing the game of golf to
make a difference. In addition, with volunteers
across the country, GFTC has exposed more than
76,000 women to golf over the past nine years.
It’s a win-win event: we support a great day at
golf courses across the country, and the women
who participate annually raise important funds for
a disease that affected 22,700 Canadian women
last year.
“We wanted to make these events fun and nonintimidating,” said Rebecca Siddall, Golf Canada’s
GFTC Program Coordinator. “It encourages
while raising funds for a great cause so close to
their hearts.”
“What’s great about a GFTC event, is that
it’s simple and free to set up,” she added. “We
provide a planning guide that provides all the
information on how to run a successful event.”
Each year the program grows thanks to Golf
Canada’s dedication and our continued support.
Once again this year, “Subaru is giving away a trip
to Las Vegas to see Celine Dion live at Caesar’s
Palace to one lucky program participant and
friend,” Siddall said.
