Give the boot to breast cancer

Dallas ISD’s Benefits Department is giving the boot to breast cancer by partnering with Susan G. Komen for the 2024 Race for the Cure, an impactful event dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer. And all team members can help!

The race will take place starting at 8 a.m. with an opening ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 19, at The Campus at Legacy, 5360 Legacy Drive, Plano, 75024. Dallas ISD employees can register to join the district team or can sponsor someone who has already registered to participate in the race for the cure. Those who registered by Sept. 22 will receive a free t-shirt. To register, click the team link: Team Dallas ISD. For more information on how to participate, download the flyer.

Proceeds from the race will be used by the Komen Foundation to fund breakthroughs that give more time to everyone in their fight against breast cancer; to provide care that ensures all have access to quality screening, diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer; to offer patient support, treatment assistance, even childcare and transportation services; to support everyone, no matter where they are in their breast cancer journey by providing a safe place to share, grieve, support and find strength to move forward; and to be advocates, fighting for government funding and critical patient support and research.
