SCARE for a CURE Announces Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas as Charitable Recipient for 2009
For Immediate Release
September 10, 2009
(Austin, TX) - Now in its fourth year, SCARE for a CURE is gearing up for a fantastically frightful Halloween season by offering an interactive haunted adventure in Central Texas. This year’s theme is “Blood Ritual,” and will take place October 23-25 and 28-31 in northwest Austin. Guests can expect a full contact adventure as they are guided through. No two groups have the same experience, as the decisions and actions of each group affect the outcome.
SCARE for a CURE is pleased to announce that this year’s beneficiary of proceeds for their two week event is the Breast Cancer Resource Centers (BCRC) of Texas. The BCRC provides a caring network of breast cancer survivors to answer questions and provide support. Their certified patient navigators provide one-on-one support for women with breast cancer from the time of diagnosis all the way through recovery, addressing their treatment options, insurance issues, and any other questions they may have. Additional services offered by this grassroots organization range from a lending library to various support groups. Barb Formichelli, BCRC’s Director of Marketing and Events Development, had this to say about the selection of their organization as the 2009 recipient:
"The Breast Cancer Resource Center is honored to be one of the benefiting charities for SCARE for a CURE once again. This event is such a wonderful example of teamwork and community involvement, and has become bigger and better every year. We look forward to working with Norma, Jarrett, and their incredible volunteers - what a great way to wrap up Breast Cancer Awareness Month!"
Past beneficiaries have included The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Elks Lodge #201 of Austin as well as four Austin area high school students who were affected by cancer. These students received scholarships in 2008 towards their college tuition.
