According to its web site, "Art for the Cure 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 Art for the Cure event are donated directly to the Wyoming Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
"Art for the Cure owes its origination to two incredible women who had the foresight and inspiration to reach out to the Cheyenne community in a most unique way to advance the fight against breast cancer. Art for the Cure was founded by two-time cancer survivor Sandy Pedersen and Oncology Surgeon, Carrie Thoms, MD in 2001 to bring the love for quality artwork and the passion to find a cure together. Over 70 percent of the funds raised at Art for the Cure stay within the state of Wyoming to fight breast cancer for friends and neighbors within our borders.
"During the last ten years, the Wyoming Komen Affiliate has granted over $1,350,000 across the state of Wyoming for various breast health related grants. In March of 2007, eight organizations were granted a total of $191,957."
