The Golf for the Cure Tournament is part of a series of events leading up to theSan Diego Race for the Cure® on Sunday, November 7, 2010!
Why is the Race for the Cure® so important to San Diego County?Since launching the breast cancer movement more than 30 years ago, Komen for the
Cure has transformed the culture – bringing breast cancer out of the closet – changing the way the world talks about and treats this devastating disease. During the journey, it was often controversial and considered inappropriate to discuss diseases of the breast openly. We’ve come a long way – but we face new challenges. Here in San Diego County, many underserved women find breast cancer at a later andmore aggressive stage and have a higher mortality rate. Still others have lost their jobs and can’t afford medical insurance. All of this is compounded by the California state budget crisis which forced the closure of the only free mammogramprogram open to women in this state. So, we’re doubling our efforts here at KomenSan Diego to do what we can to raise additional funds. We raise funds primarilythrough the Race for the Cure®.
