The Inaugural Wilmington Race For The Cure (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM)
The Inaugural Wilmington Race for the Cure
5K walk/run in Downtown Wilmington
Saturday, March 2, 2013
Mark March 2nd as the Day You Will Make an Impact.
Join the Race for the Cure supporting the local effort against breast cancer. With each mile that we walk or run, we are that much closer to giving another screening, funding another treatment, and researching a Cure.
Inaugural Komen Race in Wilmington to fight breast cancer
Walking and running through the city's historic downtown district within a stone's throw of area beaches, while sharing memories and encouragement with people whose lives have been touched by breast cancer, will be the focus of the Inaugural Wilmington Race for the Cure®.
Hosted by the North Carolina Triangle to the Coast Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the family event will be held Saturday, March 2, and will feature 5K Race/Walks, a Kid Zone and a Survivor Breakfast, all in support of a cause dedicated to saving lives.
An estimated 6,000 women in North Carolina will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and over 1,000 of them will die. In eastern North Carolina, the incidence of breast cancer and the mortality rate from the disease are even higher, by 11 percent and 20 percent, respectively.
"No woman's life should be dependent on her geography," says Pam Kohl, Executive Director of the Raleigh-based Susan G. Komen for the Cure Affiliate and a breast cancer survivor. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women in the U.S.
The North Carolina Triangle to the Coast Affiliate last year added nine counties in southeastern North Carolina to the 20 counties it already was serving. Its Komen Triangle Race for the Cure, which celebrated its 16th year in 2012, has attracted as many 23,000 participants in the past.
Last year, with funds it raised, the North Carolina Triangle to the Coast Affiliate distributed $1.1 million to 19 agencies in the region to provide a continuum of breast health services to underinsured and uninsured women, and contributed another $400,000 for national breast cancer research.
That same year, Dallas-based Susan G. Komen for the Cure, one of the largest fundraising charities in the U.S. to fight breast cancer, returned $2.4 million to the region in the form of research grants to Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
"The Race for the Cure presents us with an opportunity to celebrate and honor the lives affected by this disease, while also impacting local residents by raising funds to support education, screening and treatment programs in our community," says Kohl.

This is especially true for entrepreneurs, since it isn’t the company talking to customers. There is a human being driving that message. Find out about how your own communication signals, presence, charisma and network of friends impact your success.

Triangle Youth Step Off (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM)
Calling all Triangle Youth Step teams!
On March 16th, the members of the Sigma Rho Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. (Cary, NC) will host the 8th Triangle Youth Step-Off. This youth showcase is inspired by the traditional African-American Greek step shows. The showcase is designed to encourage creativity, education, and healthy competition. Teams from area schools, churches and community organizations will compete at Sanderson HS Auditorium in Raleigh, NC. The doors open at 1:30 pm, the event begins at 2pm. This year, up to 8 teams will represent Raleigh, Durham, Cary and surrounding areas. The cost for entry is $8 in advance, $10 at the door. Group sale discounts are available. The proceeds of the event will support the chapter’s Annual High School scholarship to be awarded to a graduating Cary resident.
The first Step-Off, held in 2004 drew a crowd of over 500 attendees. Over the years the event has grown, awarding local teams the honor of Step-Off Champions. This year’s winning team will join the roster of the area’s most talented step teams. Previous winners include Dillard Middle School, Fuquay’s Finest, Little Betas, Blue Dynasty Community Center, and Victorious Praise Step team. The first, second and third place teams will win a cash prize and trophy.
“When I initially came up with the idea for the chapter to host the event, the premise was to provide local youth teams with a public outlet to display their amazing talents. The goal was to be inclusive of school, church, recreational and community center teams. The event has grown with each passing year and it is indeed a pleasure to witness the creativity and originality of all the teams that participate” Angela Brown, the event’s founding chairwoman. The chapter consists of twenty-six women that share interests in scholarship, service, sisterly love, and finer womanhood. This program brings the national ZHOPE program locally where members help others through programming which support educational, health and wellness initiatives. This year’s Step-Off is expected to sell out the 800 seat capacity of Sanderson High School’s auditorium. For more information about registering your step team to compete or purchasing event tickets visit our website at www.sigmarhozeta.org. The deadline for registration is February 15, 2013.

The First Order Of Business: The Business Of YOU Discovering A Healthy Recipe For Living (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM)
The First Order of Business: The Business of YOU
Discovering a Healthy Recipe for Living
Terry Jean Taylor
CEO & Owner, Your Recipe For Living Coach, LLC
11:30am-1:00pm
$40.00
Terry Jean Taylor
A passionate motivational speaker and life coach with a new reality-based, no-nonsense approach, Terry Taylor is the designer of a unique strategy for reaching your goals and loving your life. Her 8 Steps For Reclaiming Your Life CD program shows you how to break free from conflict, confusion and the control of others so you can go after your goals guilt-free, with confidence and joy. A personal counselor for over thirty years, Terry has helped women in all walks of life improve their productivity, their relationships and their quality of life by breaking free from the contradictions in their beliefs that lead to stress, anxiety, and guilt. Both her CD program and her new book, This Is Your Life: No Apology Needed, are designed to help you stop apologizing – and start living.
Before designing her CD Program and writing the final version of her book, Terry conducted a survey of business women and working moms to discover what helps and what hinders them in going after their goals. The survey confirmed that the women who experienced the most serious conflict harbored self-paralyzing contradictions in their deep-down bottom-line beliefs. Terry is no stranger to dealing with conflicts that arise from holding contradictory beliefs about ourselves and the world. She spent the first half of her life in conflict between what others told her to do and what her own best judgment told her to do. At stake were her career, her marriage, her decision about children, and her happiness. Through long study and thought (she found that agonizing and hair-pulling didn’t work), she was able to resolve her conflict and achieve the life of her dreams: she loves where she lives, what she does, the man she lives with and the kind of person she has made of herself.
