The Center was created as an alternate method of raising funds to beat breast cancer. Golfers interested in raising funds are encouraged to clean out their closets for a good cause by visiting donateclubs.rallyforthecure.com where they can quickly find the fair market donation values for their golf clubs as determined by the PGA.com Value Guide, the National Standard for Golf Club Values™.

Rally for the Cure® is in it’s 12th year as a golf grassroots breast cancer awareness program. Since it debuted in 1996, the mission of Rally for the Cure® has been to emphasize the importance of early detection in the successful treatment of breast cancer and to support the mission of Susan G.
