More than 1,000 people from across the state, and as far away as New Jersey, gathered at Hays Memorial Park for the Susan G.  Komen Race for The Cure event Saturday.

Eagle Communications is a sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for Cure event in Hays.

“It is important not only for the men and women affected by breast cancer in our community, but such an important fundraiser for all of western Kansas,” said Gary Shorman, Eagle president and CEO.

Seventy-five percent of the funds raised benefit the 95 counties in Kansas served by the Mid-Kansas Susan G. Komen affiliate. The other 25 percent funds cancer research nationally.
