Divas For A Cure, a non-profit group of female motorcycle enthusiasts, visited MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper on December 10, 2021, to present a check for $2,700, the proceeds of their annual fundraising efforts. Since the group\u2019s inception, it has donated more than $150,000 to the cancer center.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are most appreciative of the Divas For A Cure and their long-time support of MD Anderson at Cooper,\u201d said Robert A. Ortiz, JD, Senior Vice President and Chief Philanthropy Officer of The Cooper Foundation.<\/p>\n
Divas For A Cure was founded in 2005 by breast cancer survivor and motorcycle enthusiast Jan Emanuel-Costley, of Browns Mills, NJ, to promote breast cancer awareness and raise funds for breast cancer research.<\/p>\n
