“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.” Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Ending CAL’s Trilogy of Color is Green. Once the preserve of landscape artists, green has developed its own modern day persona, evoking a love of earth, the environment, sustainable living and recycling. In Green artists are invited to bring their own interpretation to bear: a statement about the beauty of the planet, a paean to Earth Day (April 22nd), a repurposing of found objects or maybe an exploration of envy. Expect a vivid journey through the verdant corner of the color box, a celebration of the planet we call home.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series, the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world, raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Since its inception in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure series has grown from one local Race with 800 participants to a global series of more than 120 Races with more than 1.7 million people participating.
The Komen Race for the Cure is a unique event, designed and implemented to promote positive awareness, education and early detection of breast cancer. It has proved to be an enormously effective way to reach many women and men with the message that breast cancer is not necessarily fatal if mammography and breast self-exam become routine. As well as being a road race for runners, the Komen Race for the Cure is an emotionally charged event that attracts many first timers and recreational runners. The Komen Race for the Cure is an opportunity for thousands of women, men and their families, running or walking, to spread the breast cancer message within their communities.
Up to 75 percent of the funds raised at the Race remain here at the Komen Mid-Missouri Affiliate to provide breast health education, diagnostics, screening, treatment and services for uninsured or underinsured women. The remaining 25 percent goes to fund national research to discover the causes of breast cancer and, ultimately, its cures.
