Due to popular

demand, the clinic will once again travel across the country with the

Ultimate Drive. In a dedicated tent, child passenger safety technicians,

guided by the IACP traffic safety committee, will provide one-on-one demonstrations

on the proper way to install child safety seats. Technicians will then

oversee the participants installing the seats in their own vehicles, regardless

of whether they be BMWs.

The Susan G.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker

to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast

cancer at the age of 36. The Foundation is an international organization

with a network of volunteers working through affiliates to eradicate breast

cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education,

screening and treatment.

The Komen Foundation

runs one of the most innovative, responsive grant programs in breast cancer

today, having awarded more than $68 million in research grants since its

inception. In addition to funding research, the Foundation and its Affiliates

fund non-duplicative, community-based breast health education and breast

cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved.
