Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure 2016
Fighters, survivors, and battle buddies took their message to the street for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Evansville.
The event raises money and awareness for the breast cancer movement. It also celebrates survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.
7,600 people participated this year, raising more than $500,000.
Sheila Seiler said, “Of course we’d like to increase that. The more money we raise, the more money that can stay here for the people that we know and love. But also, the more money we cans end to research because we’ve got to find a cure for this disease.â€
100% of the net proceeds go towards the mission. 75% of the net income stays in the community to help fund local programs offering breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment. The remaining 25% supports the Susan G. Komen Grants program.
