Q: Does the Komen Race for the Cure® require fundraising?
It’s not required, but we strongly encourage fundraising. Here’s why: Your entry fee gets you to the startg line – and helps pay for the Race for the Cure operations. Try the POWER OF TEN CHALLENGE. Just Imagine the IMPACT - If every Race participant raises just $100 in addition to their registration fee, we would bring in an additional $1.5 million to support local screening, treatment and educational programs in our community!
Q: What do donations fund?
Up to Seventy-five percent of the net income from the Race stays right here in San Diego County to fund vital breast cancer health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs. And the remaining Twenty-five percent supports international research. Next to the U.S. government, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the largest funder of breast cancer research in the world.
