Race For The Cure - October 22, 2011
	In 1980, in Peoria, Illinois, Susan Goodman Komen, a beautiful mother of two, died of breast cancer at age 36. Before Susan died, her sister Nancy Goodman Brinker made a promise to Suzy that somehow she would make it better for other women diagnosed with the disease. In 1982, Nancy Brinker fulfilled her promise and established the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Today, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is credited as the world's leading catalyst in the fight against breast cancer with more than 90,000 volunteers working through 125 Komen Affiliates in communities nationwide, as well as international Affiliates in Germany, Italy and Puerto Rico. First Choice CCU supports this fight against cancer and has particpated in Race for the Cure for several years. Credit Union members have also participated by making dontations through credit union offices.
