In 2008, The Joann Gaddy Grimes Big Event to Fight Cancer will be holding their 14th annual event, which has raised nearly $4 million dollars for cancer research.  This year our goal is to raise $400,000.  Last year, we raised $330,000. 

We ask you to come join us on Saturday, June 7, 2008 and help us reach our goal and HELP US FIGHT THIS MONSTROUS DISEASE.  All proceeds go to cancer research at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center for Breast Cancer Research and Pathfinders Program, which gives mind, body and spirit support to cancer patients. 

 This is an event the whole family can enjoy so register now!! 

You may also donate now and at any time during the year.
