On Tuesday July 19, 2011, the Thendara 9- and 18-hole leagues will once again host their annual golf event supporting Rally For the Cure. This year the event will also support MAC’S Safe Ride.

With each Rally event, men and women move one step closer to a world without breast cancer. People are being educated by means of outreach programs and health screenings to one day eliminate this cancer and to help save lives.

MAC’S Safe Ride is a local non-profit organization, created as a result of an alcohol-related car accident that ended the lives of two local young men.

Its purpose is to provide a safe means of transportation for those effected by the use of alcohol. Since the free service was launched this past New Year’s eve, over 400 people have been provided a safe ride home.

The hope of the MAC’s Safe Ride board is to purchase a larger van to meet the increasing demands of the service.

All are welcome to play in this 9-hole scramble format.

Sign up sheets are available at the clubhouse, or players can call Judy Foley at (315) 369-3282, Marylou O’Connell at 357-2828, or Chris Teesdale at 369-2059.

If leaving a message, players are asked to give their name, phone number and handicap for 9 holes. The deadline for signup is Saturday, July 17, after which time the tee times will be posted.

A donation of $20 per player will support the Rally mission and each person will receive early detection information, a complimentary one year magazine subscription and other goodies.

Fees for carts and play are available by calling the Pro Shop at 369-3136.

A variety of fun competitions will be offered throughout the event including a putting contest and closest to the pin on the designated Rally hole.
