SAVE THE DATE : CHI OMEGA FOR A CURE

Over the years, we work together, meet together, and make countless memories in our sisterhood. How about we make a difference for a worthy cause this September, like help end breast cancer? We're are putting together Chi Omega for a Cure with the Downtown Chicago Chi Omega Alumnae Chapter to participate in the Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure® and we're hoping you'll join us.

On September 25th, thousands of people will gather in Grant Park in Chicago to make a big impact on the movement to end breast cancer forever. 75 percent of the money raised by the Race for the Cure stays remains here in the Chicagoland area to provide breast health research, diagnostics, screening, treatment, services and education for uninsured or under insured women. The remaining 25 percent goes to fund national research to discover the causes of breast cancer and, ultimately, its cures.

So far several sisters from different chapters are on board and we have raised close to $500 in the past week! Our goal is to raise at least $2,000. With your help, there's no limit on how much we can raise and the impact we can make. No matter what chapter you're from, you're welcome to join our team. If you cannot participate in the race, we encourage you to help get a donation toward this worthy cause.

To register, go to: http://chicagoland.info-komen.org/site/TR/RacefortheCure/HIL_ChicagolandAreaAffiliate?team_id=137879&pg=team&fr_id=1843. Or, simply show your support by making a tax-deductible donation.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Ashley or Lauren.
