We all know someone that has been diagnosed with breast cancer, and most are survivors! There are men and women that have been diagnosed with this horrible disease and filled a family full of sadness. The research continues and they need donations! By doing so, you could save a life!
Race for the Cure - Denver will celebrate the race on September 24th, 2017 at the Pepsi Center.
There are lots of ways to get involved. Become a participant, a team captain, a volunteer, or simply sleep in on Sunday, and make a $25 donation. Everyone who wants to get involved can find something to do. Denver is one of the largest races in the Country and surely will see many participate in this year's Race for the Cure.
Seventy-five percent of the Affiliate’s net proceeds stay in Colorado for breast cancer screening, diagnostics, treatment and education. Komen Colorado has invested more than $33 million in local nonprofits that provide breast health and breast cancer services to the medically under served since 1992.The remaining 25% supports the national Komen Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world. Since the Affiliate’s inception, almost $14 million has been raised for breast cancer research.
