The Northwest
Louisiana affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is pleased to
announce that the September 19th Race for the Cure® was our most
successful and well attended race event in the affiliate’s 15
year history. 5,783 registered participants came out to raise
money and awareness in our community. Their efforts paid off
well and the affiliate has brought in over $241,000 to be
utilized to provide breast health education, screening and
treatment services to the medically underserved in our 10 parish
Region. Because of funding, many women and men in this area will
be provided mammograms and breast health care necessary to save
lives.
We could not have achieved this success without the leadership
of this year’s race co-chairs, Steve Findley and Melinda Coyer,
the commitment of the race committee, the tireless dedication of
hundreds of volunteers and activists in our community, and the
vital funding from our national and local sponsors. Each and
every race participant is crucial to achieving our worthy
mission.
This year marks a momentous 15 years for our Race and we are
pleased to share some exciting news. We will be moving our Race
to a new route at the CenturyTel Center! The CenturyTel Center
and the City of Bossier are working with us to put together a
wonderful and spacious new route that will be able to
accommodate up to 10,000 walkers! Mark your calendars now for
next year at the CenturyTel Center, September 18th, and help us
grow our Race!
