Friday, June 13, 2014: Sikh community makes big impact at Race for the Cure: The Bothell-based Sikh Centre of Seattle raised more than $10,000 with the help of about 350 participants at the Susan G Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure, held June 1 in Seattle. More than three-quarters of the team's participants are from Snohomish County.
The Sikh Centre team was the event's largest in terms of participants as well as dollars raised, and also was the first new team to support the cause on such a scale, team organizers said. They were given a pink-ribbon trophy from the event. Team members covered their heads with traditional yellow scarves, symbolizing the Sikhism slogan of “One Creator.” Core values of “Oneness of God” and “Selfless Service” inspired and motivated team members of all ages to participate in the event.
