G 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. 29
