Please join us in our 4th year participating as a SCVBR team! It is important to remember that 75% of net funds raised at MORE THAN PINK Walk are used to support local service organizations in Vermont and New Hampshire providing assistance to underinsured and uninsured women and men, as well as supporting breast cancer screening and education. The remaining 25% of net funds raised support Komen’s national research program. Please visit the More Than Pink website below to join us or make a donation!
