Working directly with the research community, Wings of Karen gets the most mileage out of every dollar donated. This is a race save lives, and we are dedicated to finding cures faster. With an absolute sense of urgency, we grant researchers the flexibility and permission to do the needed preliminary work, quickly and efficiently. The faster we fund and nurture these promising early ideas, the faster we will find the answers that will lead us to a cure.
There is passion behind everything we do at Wings of Karen. This passion is shaped not only by the personal battles with breast cancer by the founder of Wings of Karen, but also by the unyielding desire to reach out to all those affected by breast cancer in a positive, uplifting way, and in the process, funding the research that will find a cure.
It is a race to save lives, and every day brings a new opportunity to make a connection, energize a survivor, empower a new generation, and raise the crucial funds needed.
The 5k Bra Dash® is a celebration of what we CAN do as a community to join the fight against breast cancer.

Your Team Personal Story
We are dashing for the lovely Lorrie Shirley, she was a wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend. Her battle with breast cancer began on June 10, 2013. She fought long and hard, she was the toughest person we've ever known, never showing how much pain she truly was in. She was a fighter the whole way through. On April 25, 2016 we lost her to cancer but she remains in our hearts.
