Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure -
September 27
 Susan
G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is a national organization, but at an
event such as Chicago's walkathon this month, 75% of the money raised
will stay in our community to help those in Chicago that are affected
by Breast Cancer.
CSB will be there to support the participants
as they run and walk. Come join us in Grant Park for a lovely fall day
and some exciting cheers to pump up the crowd! Event begins at
8:30am.

CSB Featured Star -
Maria Lindner
 Maria
"Mia
Star" Lindner is truly a star, as her nickname states! She joined
CSB
in October 2007 and has added spunk to the team with her infectious
energy and sassy hair-styles. Maria was a cheerleader from seventh
grade through high school, and also coached cheerleading for several
years. She has studied dance, yoga, and theatre, among other physical
practices. She even utilized her stunting skills in a theatre
production of "Metamorphosis" in college!
Outside of CSB, Maria
works as a restaurant manager and is into getting new tatooes,
painting, and riding her pink bike. She is passionate about the causes
of CSB especially since her loved ones have experienced some of the
life-threatening challenges that CSB supports, and she says "I cheer
with CSB because it makes me feel good inside and out!"
