Central Nebraska Race

The Komen Nebraska Affiliate is excited to be hosting a first-ever Race for the Cure event in Central Nebraska, encouraging those in our area to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Up to 75% of net proceeds generated by the Race stays in our service area to support education, screening and treatment. The remaining 25% goes to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Programs supporting research, awards, and educational and scientific programs around the world.
