The event raised thousands of dollars that will go to Komen CT to help support their mission of finding a cure for breast cancer. Rack 'N' Roll Café owner Jimmy D'Amato states “this event was the most important event we've ever had. It helped reach young women in our area, and The Rack showed everyone how to put on a show. The performers were fantastic, the people here loved it, and we all came together for a good reason. We Thank everyone who came out tonight for their generosity including our sponsor Metropolitan Transportation Company”. “The Rack” is an Adult Party Club located in Stamford, CT offering food, drinks, 25 TVs, Pool, Darts, Video Games and different musical events every weekend in a fun, party atmosphere. See www.myspace.com/racknrollbar for additional information. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded on a promise made between two sisters – Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker. Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978, a time when little was known about the disease and it was rarely discussed in public. Before she died at the age of 36, Suzy asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to breast cancer. Nancy kept her promise by establishing Susan G. Komen for the Cure in 1982 in Suzy‟s memory. For more than 20 years, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has been a global leader in the fight against breast cancer through its support of innovative research and community-based outreach programs. Working through a network of U.S. and international Affiliates and events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is fighting to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by funding research grants and supporting education, screening and treatment projects in communities around the world. Connecticut Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was established October 4, 1999 and has continually provided support for this mission in the state of Connecticut. © Copyright by NorwalkPlus.com.
