Susan G. Komen, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, announced today that its signature fundraising event in EVANSVILLE will be held in-person once again, after being held virtually last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual fundraising event will be held SUNDAY, SEPTEMEBER 26, 2021 at EASTLAND MALL. While the event will be hosted in-person this year, there will continue to be a virtual option to participate in the program and connect with the community from your own home or neighborhood for those who prefer that option. Go to KOMEN.ORG/EVANSVILLEWALK to sign up and begin fundraising.
“After a year apart, we are excited to see everyone join together as one community,” said Rachel Smith, Development Director, Evansville. “The health and safety of our community are, and always have been, our top priorities. After consulting with local health officials, we are confident we can once again gather together as one community of hope and compassion, united by a desire to save lives from breast cancer.”
The local event brings together a community of hope and compassion to raise funds to save lives from breast cancer. Funds raised support Komen’s advocacy, research investments and support of people facing breast cancer today, ensuring everyone can get the care they need to live.
“While we’re excited to see our breast cancer community again, it’s not JUST about physically being together, it’s about the impact every one of us can make when we walk one more step and raise one more dollar,” said Rachel Smith. “Every one of us, no matter who we are or where we live, deserves a chance at living a long and healthy life. Together, we will make certain that no one faces breast cancer alone.”
