Achasta

The 2010 Spirit of Achasta, “A Walk That Matters” benefitting the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation will be held on Saturday, September 25 in and around the Achasta community.  Last year’s inaugural event raised over $18,000 for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and our goal this year is to raise $25,000. 

The mission of this fundraiser walk is to not only to raise money for the foundation but to also raise awareness about the disease.
