The Tyler Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure announced today that this year’s race raised $286,000.
“We are so grateful for the support of this community. The continued success of the Race would not be possible with the sponsors, participants and our wonderful volunteers. By working together we are making a difference,” Co-Chairmen Jayme Fitzpatrick and Kelli Fitzpatrick Armstrong said in a joint statement.
The race held at Bergfeld Park on May 7 attracted more than 5,600 runners and walkers, organizers said.
