HOUSTON – Texas Woman’s University is inviting
alumni and the community to join its students, faculty and
staff as TWU Pioneers for the Cure during the 2008 Houston
Komen Race for the Cure®.
The race will be
held at 8 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 4 at Sam Houston Park. To register,
visit www.komen-houston.org,
click on “Join an Existing Team” and choose the
TWU Pioneers for the Cure team. The cost is $30 per participant.
Participants will
receive an official race packet from Komen, which will include
the Race for the Cure T-shirt. They also will receive a TWU
Pioneers for the Cure team T-shirt, which the team will wear
at the race.
“This is
the first year that TWU is organizing a team of students,
faculty, staff, alumni and community members for the Houston
Komen Race,” said Amy O’Keefe, director of commuter
and non-traditional student services at TWU. “We are
excited to have the Houston TWU community participate and
show the university’s support for breast cancer awareness,
prevention and research.”
For the past three
years, the TWU Pioneers for the Cure — with team members
from the Denton and Dallas campuses — have had the largest
education team in the Dallas Komen Race for the Cure®.
