Almost a Month Away!

We're just about a month away from the golf tournament, and although registration has really just begun, I am hoping to generate as much buzz as possible about the event - we had less than 50 golfers last year - not too shabby for the first annual! - but obviously, the more golfers that we register this year, the more money we raise!

So, here's my list of top ten reasons why you should join us on September 22nd, a la Dave Letterman:

10.  It's an excellent excuse for guys to wear pink- no one can pick on you, because you're wearing pink for a good cause! 

9. You don't want to miss out on an opportunity to play at Radisson - one of the most challenging courses in CNY. It's also GORGEOUS in early Fall! 

8. There will be a big, cold keg of beer outside the clubhouse for your enjoyment - not to mention beer on ice inside during the reception. Beer, golf, and charity go great together! 

7. There will be goody bags for every participant - I've never met anyone who didn't like free stuff! 

6. We'll be serving delicious food - people raved about the menu last year! We're bringing back the marinated chicken skewers, the coconut shrimp, Mrs. Chenet's sugar cookies, and of course, the biggest  half-chocolate-half-vanilla cake you've ever laid eyes on, courtesy of Gloria Morey. 

5. $20 from your registration fee will go directly to Rally for the Cure (R), an off-shoot of Susan G. Komen for the Cure (R) - and all of our funds stay local, to benefit women and families here in Central NY. We raised $900 last year!

4. You'll be supporting the Traci Morey Zimmer Memorial Fund - to learn more about Traci, check out A Beautiful Life: Traci Morey Zimmer. 

3. One in 3 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer - by joining us on September 22nd, you will be showing our community that you are committed to raising awareness of this disease. 

2. It's an opportunity to celebrate women in your life - the women who have survived, and those who fought bravely with determination and grace but succumbed to the disease. To commemorate someone special in your life, please consider becoming a hole sponsor. 

...and the number one reason to join us on September 22nd?

1. Raising money for organizations like Rally for the Cure (R) and the Traci Morey Zimmer Memorial Fund have a direct impact on YOUR community - whether you're a woman living in Central NY who is dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis or you live in the Pulaski area and are able to see firsthand how funds raised in Traci's memory are enhancing the community, the money we raise on September 22nd stay local. Unlike a donation to a national organization, you'll actually be able to see and experience the impact that your registration fee will have in the CNY area. 

The goal this week is to encourage people to register! If you're interested, please go to our official event page to sign up. 

Remember: $100 for a day of golf + beer + finger foods at the reception + a free subscription to a Conde Nast magazine of your choice + a goody bag + the opportunity to win prizes/bid on awesome auction items! 

Next week - - > gathering items for our "Chinese Auction." 

THANK YOU in advance for your support of our event.
