It is always amazing to raise money and see where it actually goes to be used well. Last year, Team Heather raised over $27,500 for Komen's National Race for the Cure. The 2005 Komen Grant Awardees have recently been announced and seeing some of the recipients of the hard work of over 1000 teams and thousands of individuals really makes the months of hard work pay off. Thank you Komen, for using this money wisely. Take a look at the work of some of the awardees below:
Adventist Healthcare
Arlington Free Clinic
Boat People S.O.S.
Cancer Research And Prevention Foundation
CASA of Maryland, Inc.
DC Department of Health
Holy Cross Hospital
La Clinica del Pueblo
Lombardi - Capital Breast Care Center
Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care, Inc.
Mautner Project
National Capital Area Affiliate of Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization
Nueva Vida
Providence Hospital
Suburban Hospital Cancer Program
Sibley Memorial Hospital
Smith Farm Center for the Healing Arts
Washington Adventist Hospital
Whitman Walker Clinic
If you visit any of these sites above, you will see that the monies raised from Komen's National Race for the Cure go to helping underprivileged women become informed on, tested for, and treated against breast cancer. Heather loved this goal of providing assistance for women who can't enjoy the type of medical care she received, so the $27,500 that Team Heather raised in 2005 is continuing here work today. Thanks, and $30,000, here we come!
