In 1997, a small group of volunteers decided to bring a Komen Race for the Cure® series event to the Wabash Valley. That inaugural Race, held at the Saint Mary-of-the-WoodsnCollege campus, raised $30,000 with the help of local sponsors and 800 participants.
In 1999, the Wabash Valley Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® was established to create a year-round presence in the Wabash Valley. The Race for the Cure®, held every October, remains the signature event, but many other activities to promote fundraising, education, and recognition are sponsored by the affiliate and its corporate partners.
Over the last 11 years, the Affiliate has raised more than $1.3 million and granted more than $975,000 to local healthcare providers to provide support to women and men diagnosed with breast cancer. More than $325,000 has been contributed to the national research grant program of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
The Komen Wabash Valley Race for the Cure® is the largest 5K event in the Wabash Valley and we anticipate welcoming more than 3,000 participants to the Race on Saturday, October 4, 2008. This is an opportunity for you to join our efforts as we raise funds for the people of the Wabash Valley. Please know that your participation as a corporate sponsor can have a significant impact on the people in our communities, and you will get the satisfaction of knowing that your business or organization is partnering with an organization that will promote you and your generosity.
We invite you to join with our other corporate sponsors who have continued to help us make an impact!
