The Park City Women's 9-Hole Golf League raised $30,000 at its 30th annual Rally for a Cure on Tuesday, July 28, topping its $25,000 goal by $5,000 and setting the highest fundraising total in the event's three-decade history.

That's a new record.

More than 200 women teed off at Park City Golf Club for the milestone event, supported by more than 50 volunteers who spent weeks securing sponsors, collecting prizes, assembling drawing baskets and decorating golf carts. Last year's rally brought in $22,000, and the 2024 event raised $19,000, according to the Park Record.

The proceeds will flow through Playing for Life, a local nonprofit chaired by Park City golf professional Cynthia Brown, who launched the fundraiser 30 years ago. Three organizations will benefit: People's Health Clinic, Image Reborn and breast cancer research at Huntsman Cancer Institute.

"The incredible turnout, overwhelming enthusiasm and remarkable generosity of our golfers, sponsors, volunteers and donors made our 30th anniversary one for the record books," league co-chair Kathy Roll said in a statement. TownLift reported the confirmed total Tuesday, Aug. 4.

The league, which describes itself as the largest women's golf league in Utah with more than 370 members, has seen explosive growth alongside its fundraising. Membership stood at roughly 165 in 2021 and climbed past 260 by 2024 before topping 370 this year.

Tournament organizer Callaway Zuccarello told KPCW on July 27 that the event has evolved well beyond its league-only origins. Anyone in the community could participate whether they golf or not, Zuccarello said, through sponsorships, donations and an opportunity drawing featuring spa treatments, dining packages and rounds of golf at local courses.

New this year: a closest-to-the-line driving competition, where entrants paid $10 to land tee shots nearest a rope along a fairway, with the winner taking half the pot and the rest going to charity.

Organizers also credited the Park City Golf Club, the Men's 18-Hole League and the Women's 18-Hole League for supporting the event. Five years ago, the rally raised approximately $5,000.
