Giving Back

More than 120 breast cancer survivors and supporters attended a Komen for the Cure campaign kick-off reception at the Cubby Bear Lounge on July 31 to honor the work done by advocates and government officials in Chicago and the surrounding state—several of whom were in attendance at the event.
"We want to recognize the survivors and activists who are here tonight," said Komen Chicagoland affiliate Ruth Jacobs during her opening remarks. "These courageous women, by speaking our and telling their stories, have made Illinois a much better, much healthier place for all women."
