 Each October, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation promotes it’s golf edition of “Rally for the Cure benefitting cancer research to eliminate the disease,” and every year Orlando members of the Executive Women’s Golf Association take part in the sponsoring such an event. On October 3rd, the ladies in the Orlando chapter of the EWGA postponed shopping on the website http://www.golfessentialsforwomen.com/, and joined in the festivities at the ChampionsGate Golf Club. The course is the host club for the Orlando EWGA 2009 Rally and tournament.

The EWGA members teeing off at the first hole of the ChampionsGate golf course displayed more than their usual enthusiasm for the game of golf. While members have varied memories in respect to other women’s golf tournaments, they all share a desire to contribute to the fight against breast cancer. With the support of others many male and ladies golf enthusiasts, everyone participating in the day’s activities will add to the amount of money raised annually in the name of the Komen Foundation.


The pink color that’s associated with the flamingos of Florida, will appear to travel about the golf course at the ChampionsGate Golf Club. The pink women’s golf clothing worn by a number of the tournament players will certainly contrast sharply with the green of the fairways. No doubt, at least some of those women will have purchased their pink outfits from Golf Essentials for Women. They will know that a portion of their payment from selecting their outfits online goes to the Komen Foundation.

Of course, it is not just the ladies golf clothes from that website that adds to the total raised to benefit the Komen foundation. The owner of Golf Essentials For Women, Donna Craig, promises to contribute a portion of money from every purchase during the month of October to support the tournament’s fundraising efforts. Therefore the purchase of any outfit of women’s golf clothing also should help to bring more money into the “piggy bank” for the EWGA’s tournament and Rally.
Some women display their skills best on the golf course. Other women tend to be more skilled at the creation of a “look” by fashioning it with ladies golf clothing. Saturday’s Rally and tournament will lead to a roundup of women with many different skills, yet each of those women will understand the value of the offer made by Golf Essentials for Women.

The money collected with the help of the EWGA Orlando Chapter’s Rally and tournament, and the associated fundraising efforts, promise to help hasten the discovery of a cure for breast cancer. It offers assurance to the women currently dealing with breast cancer, and a commitment that health professionals stand ready to heed their varied requests for help. Portions of the proceeds could also become available to organizations that seek to improve the public’s awareness of breast cancer issues.

It is through the efforts of other Rally participants that will bring more money into the Komen Foundation- allowing more breast cancer patients to survive with the promise of enjoying and playing in future tournaments.
