The Great Miami Rowing Center is hosting our 2nd Annual Row for the Cure during the Riverdays Festival in Hamilton, OH on September 11, 2010. Donations will benefit the Greater Cincinnati Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The Foundation's promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality of care for all and energizing science to find the cure. The Hamilton Row for the Cure® is a local event and 75% of the proceeds stay in Cincinnati area. Part of this money is used for breast cancer outreach and education, funding a free mammogram program and supporting treatment programs. The other 25% goes directly to breast cancer research through the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Research Grant Program.
You can join us in the fight against breast cancer without even breaking sweat! Would you please consider a pledge to support our effort and our local Komen Affiliate? Your contribution is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. You can contribute by clicking on the donate button below.
