Komen Race for the Cure

It is not too late to be a part of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure! The Komen organization raises funds to support local breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs for women in our local area. In addition to local interaction, Komen contributes a minimum of 25% of their funds to cancer research.
For more information on this organization go to the Komen Charlotte website.

The Race for the Cure will be held October 4, 2008
