Join us for the 2011 Komen Quad Cities Race for the Cure, Saturday, June 11at the i wireless Center, Moline, Illinois! Help us reach our goal of 11,000 participants in 2011!

Since 1993, Quad Cities Race for the Cure has raised more than $4.58 million. Up to 75 percent of those funds have been used for local programs, with 25 percent used to fund breast cancer research.

Why we need your support:

Every step counts! Your donation provides women and men in eight Iowa and Illinois counties with services that literally save lives. When you take part in the Quad Cities Race for the Cure, you help make the following programs possible:

  • Free mammograms and diagnostics
  • Medical treatment for qualified breast cancer patients who cannot afford care, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation
  • Support services including support groups, assistance with finding financial resources, prescription refills and transportation to medical appointments
  • Education about the warning signs of breast cancer, methods of early detection and the latest treatment options
  • Cutting edge research to find a cure for breast cancer

The Susan G. Komen Race for the CureŽ Series, the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world, raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Since its inception in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure series has grown from one local Race with 800 participants to a global series of more than 120 Races.
