Greetings,

 

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is scheduled for Sunday, November 1, 2009, in Austin. This exciting and popular event raises funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer.

Planned Parenthood of the Texas Capital Region will have a table at the race with information about our services. We need volunteers to help set up the table the day before and to work at the table on the day of the race.

As always, thanks so much for your support!
