County Supports Komen Maryland

Honoring National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Smith wants to share the County's support in joining the pink phenomenon, along with its pride as host to the Susan G. Komen Maryland Race for the Cure for the third year in Hunt Valley on October 18. 

"Baltimore County is committed to working with Komen Maryland to raise awareness of Breast Cancer and the money needed to find a cure," said Smith. "The pink Courthouse will serve as a reminder of the importance of early detection, treatment, breast cancer education, and as a symbol of this County's support for efforts to finding a cure."
