- Long standing partnership with Golf Canada extended through 2022 Canadian golf season

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 5, 2020 /CNW/ - Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI), together with Golf Canada, are thrilled to announce the extension of their long-standing partnership, through the 2022 Canadian golf season. SCI will continue as presenting sponsor of Golf Fore the Cure.
The Golf Fore the Cure program was created by Golf Canada, together with the Canadian Cancer Society and the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation. It drives women's participation in the game of golf through fundraising and awareness to support the fight against breast cancer. The program focuses on using the sheer power of women playing golf in a non-competitive environment to make a difference. Last year, one hundred and seventy-six Golf Fore the Cure events took place at golf facilities across Canada, raising over $390,000 for breast cancer research. In 2020, Golf Canada looks forward to growing that and further contributing to over $6.8 million raised since the program's inception.
"Subaru Canada has supported women's golf in this country in a major way and we are pleased to extend their commitment as presenting sponsor of Golf Fore the Cure," said Golf Canada CEO Laurence Applebaum. "Golf Fore the Cure has helped to drive women's participation in the game while raising money and awareness for a meaningful cause close to Canadian hearts—breast cancer research."
Subaru Canada has been a proud presenting sponsor of Golf Fore the Cure since 2005 and is proud to help grow the game of golf in Canada, standing alongside thousands of compassionate women to help make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. SCI is just as passionate about keeping their customers happy and safe for long or short drives as they are about their customers' well being outside of their Subaru vehicles. The announcement continues to signify a commitment to promoting healthy, active lifestyles through various sponsorships from coast to coast.
"As presenting sponsor, Subaru Canada will continue to offer the support needed to drive the program forward," said SCI president, chairman and CEO Yasushi Enami. It's an extremely important initiative and we are proud to be involved with such a great cause - the fight against breast cancer."
