Gotham Cigars Participates in Susan G. Komen 5k Race for the Cure

Gotham Cigars is regularly active in giving back to the community and participating in charitable events.  When the opportunity to participate in the Susan G. Komen 5k Race for the Cure arose numerous Gotham Cigars employees jumped at the chance to participate.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure gave residents in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area an opportunity to join the fight against breast cancer by running or walking a full or half 5k.  The Race for the Cure offers its participants the opportunity to raise much-needed funds in support of Komen’s vision of a world without breast cancer.

“The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is an annual event that we have done for the last three years,” said Stephanie Sitko a Gotham Cigars Customer Service Representative.  Mrs. Sitko continued to say, “Breast Cancer is becoming a growing epidemic in this country, and I am glad that Gotham Cigars sponsors a team of us annually to participate in this fund raiser.”

October 16th celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Komen Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Race for the Cure and saw over 21,000 participants mostly wearing pink.  The goal this year was to raise about $3 million. With more participants this year it seems that that goal is with in reach.
