What is Wyoming Art for the Cure?
Wyoming Art for the Cure - A Celebration of Art & Life 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 Wyoming Art for the Cure event are donated directly to the Wyoming Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

How did Wyoming Art for the Cure get started?
Wyoming Art for the Cure was founded in 2001 by two incredible women, two-time breast cancer survivor, Mrs. Sandy Pedersen, and Oncology Surgeon, Dr. Carrie Thoms. They brought together their love for beautiful artwork and passion to find a cure to reach out to the Cheyenne community in a most unique way to advance the fight against breast cancer.  

Where does my money go?
Today, Wyoming Art for the Cure is a part of the global leader in the breast cancer movement, Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Over 75% of the funds raised by the Wyoming Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure stay within the state of Wyoming to fight breast cancer affecting our friends and neighbors.  In 2010, the Wyoming Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure awarded nearly $400,000 in community breast health programs all around the state.

How can I help?
Make your donations count for Wyoming!  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.
