On Thursday, March 24th, Robyn Ross hosted a fun shopping event benefitting the Susan G. Komen, North Jersey Race for the Cure. Customers shopped and mingled with friends in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying refreshments and beverages provided by Robyn. Robyn donated a portion of sales from regularly priced merchandise to the SOMAgals.
Of the net funds raised, 75% went directly to the affiliate’s nine-county northern New Jersey service region to provide services for uninsured and underinsured women and men in Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren counties. The remaining 25% is earmarked for national level research aimed at finding a cure for this terrible disease that affects the lives of so many individuals.
Since its founding in 1997, the Affiliate has awarded over $12.2 million in local community grants, and has directed approximately $5.4 million to the national Susan G. Komen for the CureGrants Program for breast cancer research.
