The Women's Outreach Center Exceeds Goal for Race for the Cure

The University of Oklahoma's Women's Outreach Center [WOC] has exceeded it's donation goal for this year's Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure where about 50 OU students and faculty will be walking to support breast cancer research.

This year, the WOC's theme was "Walk with the WOC," to help gather support and volunteers to walk for OU's team. Their goal was to raise $800 for the breast cancer research foundation , Susan G. Komen, founded 25 years ago. The WOC team raised $1010, exceeding their goal by over $200. October is breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Women's Outreach Center at the University of Oklahoma is finishing final preparations for the annual Race for the Cure event.

"We have basically everything finished," explains WOC administrative assistant Teresa Schuster. "Students are just stopping by to pick up their shirts for tomorrow."

The WOC will have a booth and display in front of the Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City to answer questions and hand out information. Registration for the Race begins at 7:00 a.m. Oct. 10 and the race begins at 8:15 a.m.
