To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all people and engaging science to find a cure.

"I personally wanted to get involved with the Komen Foundation and Tulsa's Race for the Cure as my mother is a breast cancer survivor, which makes me a high risk candidate.  I know the importance of getting a mammogram and self-examination; my mom reminds me on a regular basis." 

"CFR has done a few things in the past to support breast cancer research, but I believe this year was an exceptional year.  We just did a 3-day event, where we sold jean passes on Wednesday as well as pink carnation bouquets, had a pink pancake breakfast on Thursday and then set up a pink lemonade stand on Friday." 

"Teresa Fanning and April Rice were our volunteer runners in the Tulsa Race for the Cure.  During our 3-day in-office fundraising events, we raised over $1,000 for breast cancer research and to help women with no insurance to get a mammogram at no cost.  Teresa took this money with her to the race on Saturday as a donation." 

"Individuals at CFR who didn't want to enter the actual race on Saturday morning, paid to be a "Sleep Walker".  You enter the race, but stay in bed on Saturday morning.  You got a Tulsa Race for the Cure t-shirt and the privilege of helping prevent breast cancer.  We raised about $265 in this event." 

"Even though we had a good fundraiser, I believe there are more people that could get involved.  If a pole was taken, I would expect everyone in the office knows a relative or friend that has been affected by this awful disease in one way or another.  Let's find a cure for breast cancer." - Linda McGuire, CFR
