Featured Komen Charlotte Ambassador:
Vertina Newman

Vertina came to us 6 years ago through a friend of hers who was already involved with our Charlotte Race for the Cure. This cause is very close to her heart, she has many survivor friends and lost her mother 8 years ago to breast cancer. She currently serves on the Race Committee and was the Pink Sunday Chair this year for Mecklenburg County. Thank you Vertina for all of your passion and hard work!
Congratulations to our first class of Komen Ambassadors!

These representatives help us inform and educate men and women in our service area about breast health. Thank you to our first class of Ambassadors for helping us make a difference in our community and get one step closer to finding a Cure!
