If you haven’t already registered for The 17th annual Komen Denver Race for the Cure do it NOW! Online registration closes this evening at 5pm.
If you miss the 5pm cutoff there is still hope…you can register in person at the Pepsi Center either Saturday, October 3, 1-5 pm (east lots, enter off of Chopper Cr. & Speer) or on Race Day, Sunday, October 4 in the registration area, 6-9 am. (Registration prices increase by $5.00 per person).
Metzger Associates is proud to be a sponsor of this Denver event, one of the largest 5K’s in the country. It is a fund-raiser for the Denver Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Last year, the Affiliate netted more than $2.7 million from the event and had 63,809 registrants. This year, the Affiliate is funding 35 projects in the Denver metro area, totaling $2.83 million, funding everything from mammograms to mastectomies, mortgage payments and meals through qualified grantees.
In addition to raising funds, the Komen Race for the Cure® Series is committed to educating the public about early detection, the strongest method of surviving this life-threatening disease. The five-year survival rate is 98 percent when the disease is discovered while still confined to the breast.
The Komen Race for the Cure® Series helps raise awareness of the importance of a positive breast health program – clinical breast exams beginning by age 20 and yearly mammograms at 40 years of age. As an organization, they are committed to ending breast cancer forever.
So if you’re looking for something to do this weekend go check out the sea of pink downtown, known to be an inspirational experience!
