THANK YOU TRI-STATE!
We would like to thank everyone that came out to the 2013 Race for the Cure on Saturday! Your support
means that thousands of local uninsured and underinsured men and women will continue to receive vital preventative care and treatment for breast cancer! We are so thankful for our community and the support that we receive from you each and every year.
We would also like to thank all of our phenomenal volunteers that made Saturday such a huge success! So many of our volunteers sacrifice time away from their families for much of the year to make sure that ONE SPECIAL DAY is memorable for so many. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed and you hold a special place in our hearts for your efforts.
What did you think of CHARIZMA?
We were so fortunate to have Charizma come down from Chicago for this year’s race and want to know if you want us to bring them back next year? Please send an e-mail to info@komenevansville.org and tell us what you thought of them. Please use CHARIZMA in the subject line of your e-mail.
