Come join us for the 15th Annual Susan G. Komen Northwest NC Race for the Cure® at our new location and date! The Susan G. Komen Northwest NC Race for the Cure® will be held in Downtown Winston-Salem with pre- and post-Race celebrations at the BB&T Ballpark.
For the past 14 years, Susan G. Komen® Northwest NC has been hosting the annual Susan G. Komen® Race for the Cure. For 14 years it was held in the same place and in the same month, but this is a big year. This will be year 15 of our iconic Race, and we’ve got some very exciting news.
This year, the Susan G. Komen® Northwest NC Race will be held on Sept. 27, 2014, at the BB&T Ball Park in Winston-Salem. The change was spurred by the hope of kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month on the right foot.
Race is more than just a 5k walk and run…it’s a celebration of breast cancer survivors, fighters, co-survivors, pre-vivors (BRCA positive men and women) and dedicated advocators who want to see the world rid of breast cancer. However, registering for the Race is only half the battle. Komen Northwest NC takes donations throughout the year and from Race and uses them for a variety of reasons, such as community grants and to help provide underprivileged women receive education materials, proper treatment and preventative care.
For more information and to register for the Race, go to our website: www.komennorthwestnc.org/

So what does this mean for you? It means you need to fundraise.
Fundraising is so important and every penny helps. Don’t be afraid to go door-to-door or to host dinner party for friends and family – you can have each person pay for a plate of food, and then take a portion of that for a donation. For more unique and creative fundraising ideas, visit 101Fundraising Ideas.
When you decide to register for Race, remember that this is more than just a celebration of the strong and courageous individuals who have overcome breast cancer. It’s more than just a remembrance of those who bravely fought cancer but lost their battle. Race is a beacon of hope that radiates throughout the nation that boldly states, “We envision a world without breast cancer, and we won’t stop until we can make it happen.”
Currently, Race registration is $25 for adult non-timed and $30 for adult timed racers. Starting April 1, registration prices go up to $30-$35. To register for Race or to activate a team from last year, click here.

Apple History at Bethabara Park
Bethabara is the 1753 site of the First Moravian settlement in North Carolina
When Moravians arrived in Bethabara in 1753, they almost immediately set about planting apple trees from seeds brought from Europe. According to records, it was recommended to plant six apple trees for every family member.
Within a few years, all the hills around the Park were filled with apple orchards. It is estimated between five and eight acres, according to the maps the Moravians kept.
Apples were among Bethabara’s biggest products, probably not far behind cattle. The settlers also probably traded grafts from apple trees to pioneers who passed through Bethabara on their way our west.
Historically, apples were a big part of American life. In the Piedmont, people mostly dried apples but the Moravians built root cellars where fresh apples could be kept for a long time.
Apples were used the same as today – dried apples in pies, apple cider to drink, as a side dish and as vinegar.
We celebrate Apple Festival with a tribute to the Moravian way of life on this day.

“I’m very grateful for the financial and prayer support from the community. This is going to be a great time for friends to gather and to help others in times of need. So it’s a win-win for everyone. Opening act will be Westside Worship from Westside Christian Church followed by Jim Cole. We will have food vendors offering hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, slushies, snow cones and more. We truly hope that this concert will build a sense of faith and encouragement to the community through the hope, love and saving grace of Jesus Christ,” commented Kurt.

Triad Holiday Food Drive
The Holiday Concerts sponsored by FOX8 and Old Dominion Freight Line have provided The Salvation Army with food to help feed those in need. Millions of cans of food have been collected since 1987.
This is the largest and most important food raising event of the year for The Salvation Army. Last year, over 20,000 people where served.
For years, the Holiday Concerts have been held at the Greensboro Coliseum, Lawrence Joel Veteran Memorial and in Burlington and are a proven tradition offering quality holiday entertainment. The Concerts invite families to attend an evening of music provided by the Greensboro and Winston Salem Symphony’s. The “cost” to attend is a can of food.
In recent years, the need in the TRIAD has exceeded the cans collections at the concerts. That is why FOX8, Old Dominion Freight Line and The Salvation Army are reaching out to local businesses to participate in an eight week campaign culminating with the Concerts (Winston-Salem: December 13, Greensboro: December 14, Burlington: December 19).
How your business can help:
- Create an internal food drive – asking employees to participate and in turn provide them with special incentives if they do.
- Choose a period of time and ask your customers to donate canned food, offering them a discount if they do.
- The goal of each participating business should be a minimum of 15,000 cans of food or at least $5,000 which The Salvation Army will use to purchase food (3 cans of food for every dollar collected).
Examples to consider:
- A team building event- create teams internally – be creative, set a goal and the team with the most cans wins bragging rights and an incentive (vacation day?)
- Top Dog for a Day. Sell tickets internally to have the winner be the Leader of the business for a day.
- A company wide bake sale (or if applicable open to the public)
- A company wide yard sale (or if applicable open to the public)
- Host a golf tournament
- Wine tasting event
- Sell raffles inside your company – the winner to receive prize of your choice
- Host an Auction
- For retail/quick serve restaurants – ask customers to bring in canned food for a discounted offer off their purchase, include a donation box on counters.
Exposure for the Triad Holiday Food Drive and participating businesses:
- FOX8 will include your business on the Triad Holiday Food Drive page housed on myFOX8.com (triadholidayfooddrive.com). This will showcase each business participating in the Triad Holiday Food Drive and how they are helping to feed the needy in our community.
- Turn Key for your business – The Salvation Army will drop off boxes and pick up from your business if required.
- FOX8 will create multiple announcements encouraging businesses to participate, this message will run in high profile areas on FOX8. In addition, FOX8 will include social media posts encouraging participation. We will include the triadholidayfooddrive.com link in all pushes.
- In addition to the exposure on the triadholidayfooddrive.com page, each business will receive exposure on myFOX8.com and with social media; highlighting your business and all participating businesses.
- All participating businesses will be listed in the Holiday Concerts program. Over 15,000 programs printed.
- At the conclusion of the Holiday Concerts, FOX8 will create one message recognizing all participating businesses. This message will air on FOX8 and Antenna TV during December and January.

Winston-Salem Air Show
In 1911, crowds gathered for the first Winston-Salem Air Show and gazed in awe as Lincoln Beachey, then the world’s greatest exhibition flyer, who commanded the sky with his signature “loop the loop” act in a rickety wood and canvas biplane. A century later, the Winston-Salem Air Show continues to celebrate more than 100 years of taking to the skies and spectators will be no less amazed at the dazzling lineup of military and civilian aircraft performing feats of aerial daring that even Beachey couldn’t have imagined.
