The Corvettes Against Breast Cancer Ride: The Tour For A Cure
The PaceSetters Corvette Club (www.pscc1.org) and our 501 (c)(3) non-profit foundation, the Corvettes Serving America (CSA) Foundation (www.csafoundation.org) are at it again !!!
That's right, the groups that brought you Corvettes Against Breast Cancer I - V (CABC V Review ; CABC III Review ) and Corvettes Against Breast Cancer Ride: A Voyage to Vegas (Voyage to Vegas - Trip Summary ), are at it again; this time with something just as exciting as before !!!
For 2008, we’re participating in a literal "pledge drive" covering an estimated 3000 round trip miles, passing through a combined 15 Southern, Northern, and Mid-Western states. This year, we're calling the event
The Corvettes Against Breast Cancer Ride: The Tour For A Cure (the Tour) will take place over 9 days in May 2008, (May 23 – May 31, 2008) covering an estimated 3000 round trip miles, passing through a combined 15 Southern, Northern, and Mid-Western states. Through pledges, donations, parades, and other civic events, the Tour participants will raise awareness and funds for the continued fight for a cure for Breast Cancer. Tour participants will take part in activities in, or be visible in, the following states:
• Georgia
• Tennessee
• Kentucky
• Ohio
• Pennsylvania
• New York
• Maine
• Massachusetts
• New Hampshire
• Connecticut
• New Jersey
• Maryland
• Virginia
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
Why Do We Do This
According to the American Cancer Society, each year an estimated 178,480 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed among women and about 2,030 cases of breast cancer are expected to occur among men (accounting for about 1% of all breast cancers). Approximately 40,460 women and 450 men are expected to die from breast cancer this year.
The Corvettes Against Breast Cancer Ride: The Tour For A Cure is an idea presented by several of the CSA Foundation (www.csafoundation.org) members as an additional means to promote breast cancer awareness and provide a means to raise funds to support this cause.
Thanks to you, over the past few years, the CSA Foundation has been able to provide more than $35,000 in support to the following national and local Breast Cancer organizations:
• American Cancer Society
• Susan G. Komen Foundation
• The Wellness Community
• Many Local Survivor Organizations
