About the Vermont New Hampshire Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Each year, through efforts great and small – the Race for the Cure, Rallies for the Cure at area golf courses, the Tubbs Romp to Stomp Out Breast Cancer event at Stratton Mountain, Mom’s Day Off at Bromley Mountain, the Music in the Meadow series in Chester, Vermont, to name a few – thousands of Vermont and New Hampshire citizens give of their time and money to fight the spread of, and ultimately find the cure for, breast cancer.

Since our first race at Manchester Vermont’s Hildene Meadows, in 1993, the Vermont-New Hampshire Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure has generated more than $6.7 million, 75% of which stayed in the two-state region. That means that more than $5 million was devoted to breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in Vermont and New Hampshire; the remaining 25%, more than $1.7 million, helped support Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s national research program.
