In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
Temple Football, in conjunction with the Philadelphia Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, will host its "Owls for the Cure" game on Oct. 21 vs. Ohio University. The game will be nationally televised from Lincoln Financial Field and will help increase awareness by requesting all attendees to wear pink. Individuals are encouraged to "Block out Breast Cancer" by buying a block of tickets, helping to raise at least $25,000 for the cause. For more information, please visit www.owlsforthecure.com.
Mission: A non-profit, tax-exempt organization comprised of professionals that dedicate themselves to coaching football at the highest level and other supporters, we aim to be recognized immediately as the ultimate brotherhood of high school football coaches in the USA. Our foremost edict is to provide exceptional support to coaches, their programs, and their players by providing education and exclusive, valuable benefits to our members. We will press the case for increases in compensation for our members that serve as teacher-coaches. We will protect and advance the profession and the game.
