About Me

We're on a Misson!

In 1997, the first Charlotte Race for the Cure was held at the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, NC. After two successful events, an affiliate was created in an effort to continue to raise money for local breast health programs. The 2007 Charlotte Race for the Cure was our 10th anniversary and an incredible one at that. We raised over $1 million to support our mission.
Throughout our nine-county service areas, Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly, and Union, North Carolina and York, South Carolina, we have raised over $8 million in ten years in helping promote breast cancer and breast health awareness to more than 56,000 individuals.
Today the Charlotte Affiliate continues to carry out our promise of saving lives and ending breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing the science to find the cures.
The 2008 Charlotte Race for the Cure will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2008 in Gateway Village.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Survivors and activists who:

Share the same vision - a world without breast cancer.

Share the same promise - to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality of care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

Share the same passion - because 10 million women around the world could die from breast cancer in the next 25 years without the cure, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is fighting every minute of every day to save every life.

Music:

Garth Brooks has made a commitment to join in the promise to end breast cancer forever. For every "Pink Edition" of The Ultimate Hits album sold, $10 will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Each CD is packaged with important information to help you protect your breast health, and the health of people you love.
