Miss A Chicago’s goal is to raise $20,000 for the foundation, with all the Ask Miss A chapters hope to raise $420,000 to defeat this disease that has affected thousands of women.  As the Miss A Chicago team captain, I hope to recruit 10 readers to walk or run in the race and raise $200 each. The team also wants to get many more readers to donate to this worthy cause to donate $20,000 to the cause. Susan G. Komen has invested more than $1 billion since 1982 to help erase this disease and any action or donation will bring us closer to a cure.  Visit the Miss A Chicago page to donate or to join our team!
