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.
