On behalf of everyone at the Head for the Cure Foundation, thank you for helping make the 4th annual Head for the Cure 5K Run/Walk – Omaha a truly great day!
It was a beautiful, dry morning for our signature Head for the Cure 5K, and an unforgettable celebration of hope and optimism for brain cancer patients, their families, friends and supporters!
With your help, we welcomed more than 500 runners, walkers, volunteers, donors, sponsors and well wishers — most participating with one of the 26 Head for the Cure teams supporting a loved one affected by brain cancer.
What’s more, and while we are still counting, our 4th annual Omaha event has grossed nearly $40,000! These results are very exciting – and we appreciate your help so much. Help us continue to drive research! We will keep the Head for the Cure Omaha donation page open for another 60 days. So, please invite your friends and family to support this great cause.
