Susan G. Komen for the Cure will be “going pink” for the cure today. Komen On the Go encourages fairgoers to pledge support for the cause and of course, wear pink.
Local volunteers guide fairgoers through the bus and encourage them to get involved in the fight against breast cancer by watching an interactive video.
The Komen On the Go bus will be distributing pink stickers, pink ribbon bags, informational handouts and shower cards. This evening, Komen will also honor breast cancer survivors by partnering with the King Action Sports stunt show for Survivor Night. The show begins at 5 p.m. in the Grandstand. We’ll see you there!
