First Posted: 8/14/2013 Several members of the 2013 Council and Committee met recently to plan the Komen NEPA Race for the Cure at Allied Services in Scranton. This year&#8217;s race is set for downtown Scranton on Saturday, September 21, 2013.
Approximately 2.9 million breast cancer survivors are alive today in the United States &#8211; more than any other type of cancer. Seventy-five percent of net proceeds raised stay in Northeastern Pennsylvania to fund local community education, early detection screening, and treatment grants, while a minimum of 25 percent funds Komen National Research Grant Awards. The Komen NEPA Affiliate serves 16 counties in the region, including Lackawanna and Wyoming.
