Bayside Health Association will participate in Passionately Pink for the Cure during the month of March to increase awareness of breast cancer.
Passionately Pink for the Cure is an awareness and fundraising program benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan's compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.
That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the golbal leader of the golbal breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1.3 billion since their inception in 1982. As the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, They are working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from their partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, they have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
