Event organizers hope fallout won't affect registration
News

TYLER, TX (KLTV)-

You'll see less pink at this year's Susan G. Komen for the cure race in Indianapolis.

Event officials report 30 percent fewer people are registered for the April 21 race.

Some believe this could be backlash from the organization's decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood.

We talked to the Tyler Komen office on Monday, and they said it is too soon to tell if they will see a dip in participation.

The Tyler Komen Foundation was not involved with the recent Planned Parenthood controversy.  They say they have never received a funding application for Planned Parenthood, and they do not currently fund Planned Parenthood.
