With tickets priced at $35.00, this ultimate girls’ night out raised over $7,000 to help the fight against breast cancer! The all-women krewe, which recently voted to declare its platform as breast cancer awareness, hopes to challenge other krewes, clubs, community organizations and businesses to come up with their own creative way to raise money for the cause.
The Komen Race for the Cure is the largest education and fundraising event for breast cancer in the world. Held in more than 120 cities across the country and around the world, more than 1.5 million people are expected to participate in the Race Series this year. Komen has invested nearly 1.5 billion dollars in breast cancer research and is the largest source of non-profit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
