Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) July 20, 2011 - Research shows that one in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. This stark reality is what motivates employees from Foundation Financial Group to raise money for the N.C. Triangle Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Foundation Financial Group employees laced up their running shoes on Saturday, June 11, and played a part in raising almost $1.8 million for the Research Triangle cancer-fighting organization.
Team members have until July 11 to raise additional funds earmarked for Race for the Cure.

"The fact that 2.5 million breast cancer survivors reside in the U.S. shows how great the need is for this fundraising event," said Stephen C. Le Gost, senior vice president and division general manager for Foundation Financial Group in Raleigh. "We are honored to play a small role in helping women whose lives have been touched by this horrible disease."

Through financial contributions, in-kind donations and volunteerism, Foundation Financial Group supports initiatives focused on enhancing opportunities in the areas of education, workforce development, environment sustainability, and health and wellness.
