Race for the Cure to have Team Captain's Lunch Thursday

Texarkana Susan G. Komen will have a Team Captain Lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at the Hilton Garden Inn. There will be door prizes and information about the Race for the Cure will be provided.

"We really just want to help inform our team captains on how to get participants, fund raise, how to create their team and how to register online or on paper," said Amber Lawrence, Southwest region director for Susan G. Komen Arkansas. "We'll go over the race route and get everyone familiar with the area for race day so they can have the best experience possible."

Lunch is free for the team captains.

Race for the Cure takes place October 19 beginning at the Front Street Plaza in Downtown Texarkana. Registration is open.

Lawrence said preparations for the event are going well.

"Things are going good. There is a new T-shirt design everyone is excited about. There is just a lot of excitement surrounding the event. The phone has been ringing and we're definitely in planning mode full force," she said.

Organizers expect approximately 4,000 participants.

People who will attend the lunch are asked to call the Komen office at 903-791-9585 or email [email protected].
