MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sunday, September 26 Kohl's Department Stores presented the 12th Annual Susan G. Komen Southeast Wisconsin Race for the Cure. Kohl's not only had the largest team for this year's race, but also fielded the largest team in the history of the Southeast Wisconsin affiliate of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure with more than 2,000 team members. Kohl's role as the local presenting sponsor of the race is just one component of the company's investment in the fight against breast cancer. Earlier this year, Kohl's announced its new philanthropic initiative to fight breast cancer with a commitment of $7 million over three years to the American Cancer Society's Midwest Division and the Southeast Wisconsin affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to support breast cancer research, education and patient-assistance programs. The donation represents the largest corporate gift ever made to the Southeast Wisconsin affiliate of Susan G. Komen – or any national affiliate – of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, as well as to the American Cancer Society's Midwest division.
