2008 Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the CureŽ Recap:
It really was "The best day in the City of Detroit!"
With thanks to all who supported our work to end breast cancer forever, the 17th annual Komen Detroit Race for the CureŽ,
locally presented by Karmanos Cancer Institute, was a great success!
BY THE NUMBERS:
Proceeds: With the help of our generous community, we raised $2.3 million!
Watch how we put it to work with the local grants we funded.
We also donated $376,648 to Komen for the Cure's research grant program, and contributed $300,000
to co-fund, along with Komen headquarters, a Career Catalyst grant to a young breast cancer researcher at Wayne State University / Karmanos Cancer Institute.
Times are posted for top racers. Thank you, Ed and Sue Kozloff and the Motor City Striders!
