Race for the Cure... May 31, 2008

The Madison Race for the Cure is about a month away... so do your part to help find a cure by signing up with Team Paint the Town Pink or making a donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure.

Visit this post for more information on how you can register or this link to donate only.

I look forward to Race day and appreciate all that have registered and donated so far!

In the meantime, here are a few other programs that benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation.


Give a Pink Ribbon Gift Card from Coldwater Creek. They’re pretty and pink, and they share the hope for a cure. Purchase a pink ribbon Gift Card, and Coldwater Creek donates 10% of the amount to Komen. Buy a plastic gift card or an E-Gift card.

Words for the Cure Book
This special collection of comforting words offers unique insights and reflections good for every occasion, especially for anyone facing a breast cancer diagnosis.

With Mother's Day approaching as well, you can also order Mother's Day tribute cards directly from the Komen Marketplace online. Please order by May 11th to ensure timely delivery.

Thanks for your support!
