Women In Bio to participate in the Global Race for the Cure®
WIB participation to the Race for the CureŽ event on Saturday June 5th was a big success, the team raised $1,385 for the Susan G. Komen foundation, exceeding our original goal by $385.
We joined more than 40,000 participants for an inspiring day on the National Mall, to honor breast cancer survivors and to raise breast cancer awareness.
Many thanks to our partner Pharmanet for accompanying us along the way raising funds for the cause and for providing the pink collector hats, and to all our friends and donors for their support and generous donations.
