It’s our 5th year participating in the 5k Race for the Cure, and every year it’s become bigger and bigger. We’re proud to be a part of such a well organized, focused, and reputable charity.
Here’s a little info about Komen:
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.
In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
As a loan professional with First Horizon, I’m proud of our national commitment to support the Susan B. Komen Race for The Cure. We will donate more than $1 Million nationally over a 5 year period to the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
To do my part, I’ve created a team in Saint Petersburg, FL to raise money, and to walk the 5K on October 6th, 2007 at Vinoy Park. This will be my 4th year leading a team, and for those of you who haven’t participated, it really is a fun and relaxing day. It’s only $30 to donate and recieve a t-shirt.
I know, I know, some of you don’t want to get up at 7am on a Saturday…uggh. But! I have a solution: Sleep in for the Cure Registration is only $35.00. You can select this option to join the Race in spirit and “Sleep In” race morning. They’ll even mail you a Sleep in for the Cure pillowcase. So, if you want to walk, or donate, or just sleep in, click here, and join my team!
Lastly, my personal pledge includes a portion of every loan I close between September 1st and October 1st. This means I’ll donate $100 for every loan you close with me or refer to me during this time.
Thanks everyone for supporting this worthy cause!
