Join Team Sol and you could win a FREE Daisy set!


            Race for the Cure is September 29th 

One of the joys of doing what we do at SOL is helping women who have been affected by breast cancer look and feel beautiful again. 

But what we would love even more is to help end breast cancer forever! In 2012 SOL formed a team for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to help raise awareness and money.

2012 Team Sol!
Comprised of 17 staff members and 15 customers, TEAM SOL raised an astonishing $11,585 and was one of the top fundraising teams in Denver. We are looking forward to repeating that accomplishment this year!

To help inspire fundraising for 2013, SOL is giving away a free Daisy bra set in the latest fall color (Navy Blue) to any Team SOL member who raises at least $500! 

Please help us in the promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by joining our team. Go to our Event page on Facebook to find out how to join.

You can also make a donation to a team member or, if you prefer, you may make a donation to our team as a whole. 

THANK YOU for your support of us and Susan G. Komen for the Cure!

It was a beautiful sunny day in 2012.  We are hoping for the same this year!

What a beautiful day to Race for the Cure!



Thank you to everyone on Team SOL for braving the cold and being a part of an amazing experience. It is certainly one that I will never forget. Comprised of 14 SOL customers and 17 SOL employees, Team SOL raised an astonishing $11,220!

Gearing up (and warming up) for the race
Before the race, we met up in “Team Land” for coffee, bagels, and donuts (not the breakfast of champions but it was a welcome snack at 7am!). The 5K walk/run started at 8am – Just in time for the sun to come out. Seeing the countless pink tribute bibs worn by those walking “in celebration of” and “in memory of” was incredibly moving having lost my mother to breast cancer four years ago.
Off we go!
Seeing thousands of Denverites whose lives have been touched by breast cancer was inspiring. The sea of pink tutus, wigs, and feather boas around the Pepsi Center added to the celebratory atmosphere. Cheerleaders from local high schools, firemen, and musician lined the race course (though it felt more like a parade route!).
Up one last hill to the finish

Warmed up and energized from our 3+ mile walk, Team SOL regrouped after crossing the finish line. We all had such a great time at Race for the Cure that we’re already looking forward to next year!
Team SOL celebrates!
Our littlest team member, Elliot ;)
