The Clock is Ticking...

Tomorrow is August 1st, and that means that we are just 53 days shy of the 2nd Annual Rally for the Cure (R)/Traci Morey Zimmer Memorial Golf Tournament!

Registration forms have been completed and are now available to those who prefer paper registration as opposed to registering online via our Event Webpage. Ideally, everyone would sign up online, but we realize that sometimes it's just easier to fill out a paper form and mail it back with payment. Just a reminder: it's $100 to participate - - please write out a $20 check to Rally for the Cure with our event ID # 52764 in the memo line, and a check for the remaining $80 made out to Nicole E. Chenet. So, that's two checks, one for $20 and a second for the remaining $80. If you're planning on skipping golf but coming for the cocktail reception following the tournament, it will be $40 to attend.

Let's talk sponsorship!

We are offering a few options for individuals and companies interested in sponsorship opportunities:


We are offering three levels of sponsorship:


Cure Crusader Level: $1000, includes two (2) foursomes, two (2) hole sponsorship signs, and special recognition on a sign at the cocktail reception (a value of $1100!)

Hot Pink Level: $550, includes one (1) foursome, one (1) hole sponsorship sign, and special recognition at the cocktail reception (a value of $600!)

Rally All-Star Level: $250, includes one (1) two-some and special recognition at the cocktail reception (a value of $300!)


Additional Sponsorship Opportunities:


Beverage Cart Sponsorship: $1000. Your desired information will be featured on the beverage cart.

Scoreboard Sponsorship: $500. Please indicate information you want featured on scoreboard.

Cart Sponsorship: $500. We will display your desired information on participant
carts.



We are offering three types of hole sponsorship:



"In Memory Of..." Sponsorship: for those who wish to memorialize someone who has succumbed to breast cancer.  $100.
"Survivor" Sponsorship: to recognize a breast cancer survivor. $100.

Individual/Corporate Sponsorship: for individuals or businesses. $100.

Those interested in becoming a sponsor can contact Nicole Chenet at nicolechenet.com@gmail.com. 
This year, we are really pushing for a Beverage Cart Sponsor and even more "In Memory Of..." Hole Sponsors. Sponsorship has a number of benefits:
It's an incredible way to support the Traci Morey Zimmer Memorial Fund.
It's an opportunity for local businesses to become involved in a community event!
It's GREAT advertising! 
It allows you to honor a loved one who has battled breast cancer. 
It helps our committee to offset some of our costs. 

Who Wants a Prize?
We will again be awarding prizes for the following at our cocktail reception: top three foursomes, men and ladies longest drive and closest to the pin, and "Best Dressed Foursome." Rally for the Cure provides us with some prizes but we absolutely need additional prizes - to donate a prize item, please contact Nicole at nicolechenet.com@gmail.com. 
We will also be having a Chinese Auction. Instead of a silent auction, where you write down your bid, we'll be selling raffle tickets to those in attendance. To bid on an item, you'll drop your raffle tickets into a bowl corresponding with your desired prize item. We'll then mix up the tickets and draw a winner! We had an incredibly successful Chinese Auction at a fundraiser for Traci, and we are hoping to do it again this year. Of course, we need items for the auction, and are soliciting donations from businesses in the Pulaski and Baldwinsville area. We'll be sending out more information to over 150 businesses in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, if you know of a local business (or individual) who is willing to donate an item for our auction, please contact Nicole at nicolechenet.com@gmail.com. 
Make a Difference!
We had a group of awesome volunteers last year, and we're hoping they'll return again in 2012 to help us out, but we could definitely use a few additional hands to assist us! To volunteer, please contact Nicole. It's a great idea for local sports teams and other groups!
