The Race for the Cure was a hugh success this year. There were over 19,300 people registered to run/walk in the 5k race, and raised $1.1 Million dollars. Hundreds of TEAMS. WOW!!!

Methodist Hospital Group has over 1300 employees and 40+ groups registered for this race. Memphis Camera Club volunteers photographers every year to photograph the event. I was one of the fortunate volunteers and this was my 6th year.

Every year in October in this region, “Race for the Cure” is held in Germantown, Tennessee drawing thousands of participants.

  • Their goal this year is to raise $750,000.
  • Each year the Memphis Camera Club donates all the photographs from 20+ volunteer photographers to the Susan G. Komen chapter here in Memphis.

Their mission statement:

Our mission is to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment. The Memphis-MidSouth Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation raises funds to support a variety of programs in Shelby, Fayette, Tipton, Tunica and DeSoto counties.

Kroger is a major sponsor of this event and has been over the past 10 years.
