Upcoming Events
 |
| Be a part of the breast cancer movement by participating in the Rally
for the Cure, a breast cancer awareness program! Would you like to host
an event? Our affiliate has been the beneficiary of some of the
fundraising dollars for this program. Because of the support of Rally
for the Cure events in this area, we have been able to make grants to
many local organizations. We are here for you and your community. Rally for the Cure provides you with a packet to get you started on your golf, dining or tennis event. Participants pay a $20 entry fee, which enables them to receive the materials Rally provides, i.e. goody bag, breast cancer awareness materials from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, as well as a pin -- designed for Rally for the Cure--featuring the symbolic pink ribbon. The entry fee also entitles participants to receive a 1year magazine subscription to one of Conde Nast Publications, helping further the Rally for the Cure mission to disseminate information about breast cancer and reinforce the awareness and early detection messages that save lives. Now in it's 14th year, the program has generated more the $45 million for Komen since its inception. To find out more about how you can host a Rally for the Cure event, call 1-800-327-6811 and tell the Tri-Cities Affiliate of the Susan G.Komen for the Cure sent you! |
