The three survivors will be part of Team Hope, the largest group of survivors gathered anywhere. Tell us about your very special upcoming event. Sing for the Cure is a choral symphony that will be presented at the world premier at Meyerson Symphony Center, on June 11th. We have one librettist, Pamela Martin, who is from Austin, Texas, and then ten composers who have put music to her words. And the symphony follows the story from the diagnosis of breast cancer to finding a cure.
Tickets are still on sale, for a very emotional, but magnificent event honoring survivors.
I spoke yesterday with Stephanie Komen, daughter of the late Susan G. Komen. She said that she was allowed to see parts of the musical presentation and it moved her to tears. She is one of three honorary chairs, along with James Careker, and Carol Seay. The chairs represent different phases of breast cancer and show why this is truly a family disease. The proceeds will benefit the Dallas County, Plano, and Tarrant County Affiliates, and as you may know, the majority of funds raised by Komen affiliates remains in the local communities to fund innovative education, screening, and treatment programs for women in those areas.
