As part of the party, supporters are encouraged to "Like" The Promenade at Chenal Facebook page (click here). A $1 donation will be given to Komen Arkansas for every new "Like" on The Promenade Facebook page during the Kick-Off Party day.
"This event is new for us. In previous years, we hosted a kick-off for team captains only but decided to expand it in 2012. We want everyone to join us to celebrate the start of "Race season" in Arkansas," says Kristi Moody 2012 Race Chair. "We would like to thank The Promenade for hosting this event and working with us to make it successful."
"The Promenade at Chenal and its merchants are community focused, and are excited to partner with Komen Arkansas for this exciting 1st Annual Kick-Off Party. We welcome everyone to come out, register for Race for the Cure and take advantage of the one-day special offers and dining voucher discounts provided." - Linda Hinton, General Manager The Promenade at Chenal
