Komen Vermont Race for the Cure grosses $185,046+

Exact numbers are still being tallied and dollars are still coming in but, as of this writing, the 2012 Komen Vermont Race for the Cure, held July 28 at Hildene Meadows in Manchester, Vt attracted 1,587 runners and walkers, scores of volunteers, and has brought in, $185,046, to date.

That figure includes money from cash sponsorships, race registrations, pledges to date, the silent auction, raffle proceeds and merchandise sales - and that figure will rise, as pledges are being accepted through September 1.

"It was a very good day, all things considered," said Debbie Peretz, Vermont-New Hampshire Affiliate President. "Our numbers were down but the energy level was up, and the folks on the field - participants, volunteers, survivors, everybody - really put their hearts and souls into the Race. Good things will come from this and, hopefully, we'll see our numbers start to turn around next year."
