Breast cancer benefit at Flat Creek June 3

More than 150,000 golfers participated in the Rally for a Cure in 2002 to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and this year's event is around the corner.

Flat Creek is an official site for the 2003 Rally for a Cure initiative and marks the seventh time the club has pledged its support and teed off against breast cancer.

A total of 20 players are expected June 3 for the Rally day at Flat Creek. Activities will include a closest-to-the-pin contest, at a designated par-3 hole, and Titleist golf balls bearing the pink ribbon breast cancer awareness symbol are awarded to every player who hits the green, with a prize given for the shot that lands nearest the hole.

Golfers will receive important early detection literature and an exclusive Rally pink ribbon golf pin to wear for the day, plus a one-year subscription to Golf for Women magazine, the program's title sponsor.

While the primary mission of Rally for a Cure is to promote early detection, the program to date has generated more than $8.5 million in its seven-year existence and earned four national awards
