KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2003

Employees of the Kansas City office of national mortgage lender First Horizon Home Loans will participate in the local Komen Race for the Cure. They will be among the 13,000 expected to attend the Aug. 10 event in Kansas City.

In 20 years, the 5K run/fitness walk sponsored by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has grown from one local race with 800 participants in Dallas, Texas, to a series of more than 100 races with 1.5 million people expected to participate in 2003. In addition to the Komen Foundation, the event depends on many co-sponsorships, including one from First Horizon Home Loans.

"First Horizon's national commitment to support the Race for the Cure will be $1 million over the next five years," said Stacey Croschere, a manager in First Horizon's Midwest region. "In addition, local First Horizon branches like ours will raise additional money from individual and corporate contributions and from local organizations to increase support." Croschere noted that, according to the Komen Foundation, 75 percent of all funds raised in the community on behalf of the race will remain in the Kansas City area.
