NC Foothills Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure Awards $150,000 in Grants
WBTV Meteorologist Kelly Franson was the guest speaker at the Komen NC Foothills Affiliate annual volunteer reception where $150,000 in grants were awarded to local programs.
“It was an honor to thank the volunteers for their hard work, and wonderful to get a chance to see where the money raised during the race will be going, and to hear how it will be used,” Franson said.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest breast cancer organization with more than 140 Komen Race for the Cure events internationally.
25% of the money raised goes breast cancer research while up to 75% of the money is granted to local non-profit groups through STEP (Screening, Treatment, and Education Programs) Grants.
