The 21st annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure will take place Saturday, May 11 at Albertsons Headquarters on East Parkcenter Boulevard in Boise.
The annual event draws thousands of people to the City of Trees each year, raising millions of dollars for breast cancer research and treatment programs.
Seventy-five percent of net funds raised stay local to provide vital breast health services including, mammograms, diagnostics, patients assistance and education programs to those who are uninsured or underinsured living in Idaho and Montana.
To date, Komen Idaho Montana has invested over $7 million back into our local community for breast health programs.
In addition to raising money, the race also celebrates breast cancer survivors and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.
