Race for the Cure


The Race for the Cure is an educational and fundraising event for breast cancer created in 1983. Since it began with only 800 runners, it has grown to more than 1.6 million participants in over 140 races worldwide.

The Volunteer Action Center and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Ozark affiliate created a partnership last year resulting in a 2013 race with over 350 volunteers.
