Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure

Hi,

The kids and I are participating in the Susan G. Komen San Antonio Race for the Cure on April 4, 2009! Will you join me in the fight to end breast cancer?

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s promise is to save lives and end breast cancer by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

The Susan G. Komen San Antonio Race for the Cure® raises and invests funding for local nonprofits providing vital breast cancer screening, treatment and education programs in San Antonio. Last year more than 27,000 women were helped in our community with Race participation and donated pledge dollars.

In these uncertain times, more women than ever will need the life-saving services provided with your support. For all the wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and friends, please consider making a gift today. Click here to make an online contribution in support of my participation (go to support a participant and type in Mandy Sadler in the search field) or make a direct donation to Komen San Antonio Affiliate.

Or if you prefer, you can send your gift in the mail to Komen Race for the Cure, P.O. Box 6477, San Antonio, Texas 78209. If mailing a pledge on my behalf, please list my name in the memo on your check.

Thank you!

Mandy Sadler

Susan G. Komen for the Cure began in 1982 as a promise between Nancy G. Brinker and her sister Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at age 36. Komen has invested $1 billion in breast cancer research and community outreach programs, becoming one of the world’s largest sources of funds fighting cancer.

Established in 1997, the Komen San Antonio Affiliate has raised and invested more than $8 million. Seventy-five percent has funded local nonprofit programs providing vital breast cancer screening, treatment and education in our community. The remaining 25 percent supports international breast cancer research through the Komen Award and Research Grant Program.
