Impact Sports and Fitness is excited to announce that we are making a change to our annual Impact the Cure fundraising event.  We are changing the name to Impact the Cause.  For the last 14 years, we have raised money to support breast cancer awareness and offered free mammograms through our Memorial Health Foundation.  Times have changed and so has insurance coverage, and although breast cancer awareness is just as important as it ever was, the need for funding free breast exams is not what it used to be.  In an effort to support the Memorial Health Foundation’s vision:  “supporting and securing our community’s health…now and for the future”, proceeds from this event will now help fund any and all causes supported by Memorial Health Foundation.
In 2024, the event will support the General Public Transportation Fund to assist patients in getting to ANY healthcare appointments and the purchasing of playground equipment at the walking trail near Memorial Hospital.

We look very forward to seeing everyone at Impact the Cause 2024!

THANK YOU!!!
