Q: Does the Komen Race for the Cure® require fundraising?
You are not required to fundraise, but we do encourage all participants to fundraise above the entry fee. Just Imagine the IMPACT - If every Race participant raises just $100 in addition to their registration fee, we would bring in $500,000 to support local screening, treatment and educational programs in our community, and an additional $175,000 for national breast cancer research!
Q: Does the money raised stay right here in our community?
Yes! Up to 75 percent of the net income from the Race stays right here in our community to fund vital breast cancer health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs. And the remaining 25 percent supports the Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research.
