Congratulations Limited Brands - recipient of its ninth Columbus 'Race for the Cure' Team Challenge Award

May 21, 2010

It’s a celebration for the more than 5,600 Limited Brands’ associates and guests who participated in this year’s race. Limited Brands has received this award consecutively since 2001 for having the most participants. 

In support of raising awareness and research dollars in the fight against breast cancer, Limited Brands’ associates from Columbus joined the more than 50,000 race participants as they ran or walked in this year’s Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure.”  For the past 12 years, Limited Brands has been a corporate sponsor of Komen Columbus.  

“We are honored to receive our ninth team challenge award and I am so proud of our associates for exceeding our participant record,” said Janelle Simmons, director of community relations for Limited Brands. “Our associates understand the importance of raising awareness of breast cancer as many of us have been personally touched in some way whether it’s been personally, a family member, a friend or colleague who has battled this disease.  This is a wonderful way for us to honor those individuals.”

Later this year, Limited Brands’ associates will also participate in the Komen New York Race, Komen Central New Mexico Race, as well as, the American Cancer Society “Making Strides Walk” in Kettering, Ohio.
