Save a Life...

The cost of a mammogram is $150.  If every race participant collected $150, we could pay for 46,000 mammograms!  The Overall Goal for 2009 was $350,000!  Every person who raised $150 received a newly designed Because I Care T-shirt, designed and provided by Image One.

Everyone can take an active role in the fight against breast cancer.  Survivors, family members, friends, co-workers, and even children can help raise funds by participating in the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Arkansas Affiliate's Because I Care fundraising program.  Individuals and teams can collect tax-deductible donations and compete for prizes and awards for their charitable efforts.
