2010 Event Dates Announced October 8th, 9th, & 10th, 2010
Cancer Fundraisers Exceeding Goals, Tough Enough to Wear Pink and C4CR Break Records!
Despite great economic uncertainty, residents of southern New Mexico are certain about one thing - they still want to do their part to beat cancer.
Organizers of Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign estimate this years $500,000 goal was exceeded by at least $15,000. That total includes in-kind donations.
The Cowboys for Cancer Research's dinner - dance and roping competition, the original local fund-raising event that donated the money generated by all these efforts to the University of New Mexico Cancer Center to in aid in research against the deadly disease collected in excess of $240,000 as well.
Because of the competing events- two roping events in Arizona and a major college rodeo contest happening the same weekend - Geraldine Calhoun of C4CR said attendance was a little low for the roping competition, but still attracted more than 500 roping teams.
Donations are still coming in, she said, and she is optimistic that the final tally of C4CR will exceed $240,000. Besides these better-known events, there was a lot of other related fundraising, such as at different schools and by a Harley-Davidson poker run, she noted.
The reason for the strong response is the cause, said Denny Calhoun.
