Greater Nashville Affiliate History
In 1992, 500 people gathered in Centennial Park to participate in Greater Nashville's first Race for the Cure. During the next six years, the Race was managed under the umbrella of the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center at Centennial Medical Center. In 1997, the Greater Nashville Affiliate was founded through the leadership of Junior League of Nashville members, Shana Alford and Barb Sawyer. Shana, a breast cancer survivor herself, became the first president of the Affiliate, and Barb served as the first Race Chair. Through their leadership, along with countless volunteer efforts, the Greater Nashville Affiliate has grown to include a staff and a strong, diverse Board of Directors. To date Komen Greater Nashville has provided more than $3 million in screening, treatment and educational services to the women of Middle Tennessee.
