CHARITIES

Karyn Fowler is our 2007 Charities Chairperson

Donations from the 50/50 Raffle, held at our Membership Meetings and other events are contributors to the following Charities.  Cowtown Members also donate needed items, their time and additional monetary donations above and beyond the formal CTV Charity Program.

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (April 7, 2007)

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series is the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world. In addition to raising funds, the Komen Race for the Cure® Series is committed to educating the public about early detection, the strongest method of surviving this life-threatening disease. The five-year survival rate is 95 percent when the disease is discovered while still confined to the breast.  Up to 75% of the net income stays in the local community to fund breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects. A minimum of 25% supports ground-breaking breast cancer research, awards, education and conferences around the world.  COMMENT: Club members and friends afflicted (both survivors and not).

Welcome Home Heroes

The www.welcometroops.com is a new activity for Cowtown and we are proud of our Troops and their dedication. 

This activity is mostly servicemen and servicewomen who are on two week R&R leave from overseas, mostly from either Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kuwait. This is their first landing on US soil, and from here they board other flights or catch rides with family for the trips to their hometown. With the outstanding support of DFW Airport, a daily welcome party is held to give them a warm reception and let them know the folks here at home support them. As they get off of the plane and exit customs they encounter our party...a group of enthusiastic patriotic Americans of all ages with flags, balloons and posters applauding and shaking their hands.
