BCC Rally says Farewell after 15 years- Pink Bow Legacy to Continue

To our valued friends, supporters and business partners:
Since 2004, BCC Rally has donated $2.2 million dollars to Susan G. Komen® Charlotte, in support of our shared fight against the scourge of breast cancer. This includes:
• Providing $1,650,000 locally for vital diagnosis, education, and treatment support
• Investing $550,000 in ground-breaking research grants

During 2018, we celebrated our 15th anniversary and reflected on what we helped to accomplish over the past years. In addition to surpassing the fundraising goals set by the Board of BCC Rally, we also involved more than 2,000 Rally Volunteers and disseminated over 100,000 Pink Bows! Our combined efforts have had a significant impact in our community and beyond.

After careful consideration and upon exceeding our fifteen-year goals, we are announcing that BCC Rally will dissolve in 2019. While the organization will dissolve, the legacy of BCC Rally will continue in a new venture. We are excited to share that Komen Charlotte will continue BCC Rally’s Pink Bow Campaign! With their greater network of volunteers, community partners and resources in their thirteen-county region, we are confident the Pink Bows will reach a broader population and continue to raise awareness and substantial funds.

Komen Charlotte has been BCC Rally’s designated beneficiary because of our shared values and their proven commitment to our community and to valuable research. Over the years we witnessed milestones including seeing the survival rate among early stage breast cancers increase to nearly 99%! In addition, they have contributed funds for the development of drugs and research, which have helped breast cancer patients to thrive. Thanks to the diverse work of Susan G. Komen, women and men living with a breast cancer diagnosis today have more options and more hope than at any time in our history.
We hope you will consider sharing your time, talents, and resources directly to Komen Charlotte.

The Board of BCC Rally is dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition of the Pink Bow Campaign to Komen and dissolution in 2019 and we sincerely appreciate your support during this time. Please contact us if you have any questions.

With much gratitude for your loyalty and partnership,

The Board of BCC Rally
