In The Pink is moving to March 10, 2010
Please join us for the In the Pink luncheon on Wednesday, March 10 in the Heritage Room, Amarillo Civic Center. The breast health educational luncheon has moved to the spring to give our community that boost in March as a way of sustaining our momentum throughout the year. We need to remind ourselves that our promise to see a world without breast cancer requires work and education throughout the year.
In the Pink chairs Cindi Barela Graham and Laura Hamilton invite you to inaugurate the Mary Frances Weir Lecture Series presenting Clifford A. Hudis, MD. Dr Hudis, Chief of Breast Cancer Services, Memorial Sloan -Kettering Cancer Center, has research interests in all areas of care related to breast cancer. His clinical practice is solely devoted to the treatment of patients with breast cancer, and his research is focused on prevention of the disease, prevention of recurrence after surgery, and treatment of recurrences.

BMW Ultimate Drive
The BMW Ultimate Drive program has been extremely popular and a very effective program for both BMW and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, raising more than $1 million annually for the past 11 years. Sadly, BMW will not be offering the Ultimate Drive program in 2009. Like so many others, BMW continues to wrestle with the significant impact of the economy and will be stepping back from the program in 2009 with the hope of returning in 2010.
In partnership with our Affiliates, BMW has been a wonderful corporate partner for Komen, helping to spread the message of breast health awareness all across North America. Please thank our local BMW dealership, the autoplex for their support and friendship!
Thank you for your support of the BMW Ultimate Drive program. We will continue to keep you updated on news for 2010.
