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. 

From the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® website:

“That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested nearly $1.5 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.”
