posted in Recent News |The Freemasons of the Nation’s Capital, along with their family and friends, are engaging in a major effort to spread Breast Cancer awareness & prevention during the upcoming Susan G. Komen National Race For The Cure® held on June 7th, 2008. Ms. Lourdes Elias, wife of Grand Master Akram R. Elias, encourages all who wish to help defeat breast cancer to join in the quest, and to pledge support.
Ms. Elias, a breast cancer survivor, has created a team set to participate during the walking/running event. With a recruitment goal of 40 members and a fundraising goal of $7,000, the team is already well underway with $4,481 already donated.

Some words from Ms. Elias,
"Please join me on June 7th by making the one mile walk and/or by pledging to support my participation in the Komen National Race for the Cure®. Together we have made tremendous progress toward eradicating breast cancer as a life-threatening disease through research, education, screening and treatment. The generosity of our donors is vital as we continue our efforts to help breast cancer patients today, as well as to invest in the health of future generations."
