What is Art for the Cure?
Art for the Cure is a live and silent art auction open to the community that includes an evening of light fare, friendly company, and incredible artwork donated generously by regional artists. All monies raised at the Art for the Cure event are donated directly to the Wyoming Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

How did Art for the Cure get started?
Art for the Cure owes its origination to two incredible women who had the foresight and inspiration to reach out to the Cheyenne community in a most unique way to advance the fight against breast cancer.  Art for the Cure was founded by two-time cancer survivor Sandy Pedersen and Oncology Surgeon, Carrie Thoms, MD in 2001 to bring the love for quality artwork and the passion to find a cure together. 

Where does my money go?
Over 70% of the funds raised at Art for the Cure stay within the state of Wyoming to fight breast cancer for friends and neighbors.  Over the last ten years, the Wyoming Komen Affiliate has granted over $1,350,000 across the state of Wyoming for various breast health related grants.  In March of 2007, eight organizations were granted a total of $191,957.  Art for the Cure is proud to be one of the various sources contributing to the financial support of the Wyoming Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

How can I help?
Make your donations count for Wyoming!  Art for the Cure has joined the cause to find a cure for one of the most common cancers among women and is inviting you to strengthen our event.  One in every eight women will develop invasive breast cancer at some time in her life.  Make sure that when that one is your mother, daughter, sister or friend you have done all you can to increase her chances of winning the battle.
