2010 Komen Arkansas Race For The Cure
Registration Is Open

Race is on Saturday, October 16th

This year’s race chair, Donna Easley, has chosen a theme that reflects our race.  We > Me.  It denotes how we can collectively work together to end breast cancer.  Follow this link (or go to www.komenarkansas.org)  to share how a group in your life has collectively made life better.  Please share your stories.

 

Fundraising for Komen

The Fundraising Goal for 2010 is $500,000!  You can help us provide 3,333 FREE mammograms in Arkansas!

We need your help in reaching that goal.  We ask you to raise $150 – the average cost of a mammogram in Arkansas.  To make it easy, when you register for the race, you will automatically have a fundraising page set up just for you so you can email friends and family to ask for their help.  Take time to personalize the page with your photos and stories – it’s easy!  You can also raise funds on your facebook page!  If you are on a team, your total is included to help your team win a prize, too.

    The Arkansas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was incorporated in 1992. To date the Arkansas Affiliate has held 15 Komen Races for the Cure in downtown Little Rock raising almost $13.5 million.

    The monies raised fund grants and educational programs providing support and early detection information to thousands of Arkansas women and their families. About 75 percent of the funds stay in Arkansas, with the remaining 25 percent goes to national research grants.

    The Race provides an opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors and to remember those who have lost the battle.
