Komen East Tennessee invests 75% of the funds raise to support vital, local breast health services, and dedicates the remaining 25% to national research to find a cure.

“We wanted to get involved with a local charity and chose Komen Knoxville Race for the Cure because many of our employees have been touched by cancer, and this is one of the largest events in Knoxville,” says Karen Richards, Braxton-Bragg credit manager and race team captain. “This will help a lot of people in our community.”

The mission of Komen East Tennessee is to provide funding for breast health services, breast cancer education and outreach in the 24 surrounding counties, including the Knoxville and Tri-Cities regions.

Everyone is invited to stop by the Braxton-Bragg tent at the Race For The Cure on Oct. 21 at the World’s Fair Park in Knoxville. You’ll have the opportunity to meet some of the company’s representatives and to pick up some free swag.

Braxton-Bragg is honored to support Komen East Tennessee as they continue the work to find a cure for breast cancer. If you would like to support the Braxton-Bragg Race for the Cure team, visit www.braxton-bragg.com/race-for-the-cure.
