Varsity: Play for the Cure
The Varsity team will participate in the Play for the Cure playday at Heritage High School on Saturday, August 23rd. Proceeds from this playday will support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, whose promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
This promise was made by Nancy G. Brinker, as she promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.
In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
During the 2007 Georgia High School Volleyball Season, Harrison High School began a local effort using volleyball as a vehicle to raise monies for this to support the end to this horrible disease affecting women's health.
