Komen to offer alternative to Oct. 4th, Yom Kippur, race date. Contact Komen Iowa to register for the Oct. 5 race in Omaha. Due to an error, several state affiliates of the Susan G. Komen organization, including its Iowa affiliate have inadvertently scheduled their Race for the Cure on October 4, which is Yom Kippur. The Susan G. Komen Iowa Affiliate regrets the mistake and has offered to find alternatives that may be available for those who wish to support Komen Iowa but cannot this year due to their scheduling error. There is, for example, a Komen race in Omaha on Sunday, October 5. “Registration fees and any supplementary fund raising that is done for Komen will benefit the Iowa Affiliate and our grant projects,” stated roger E. Dahl, Executive Director of the Susan G. Komen Iowa Affiliate. To arrange an alternative to participating in the Saturday, October 4 race in Des Moines, contact [email protected] or call the Komen Iowa office at (515) 330-2934. The goal of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment.
