Fundraising FAQs

Remember every donation you collect makes a difference! Be creative and have fun!

Q: How are the fundraising proceeds used? 
A: 75 percent of the Race’s net proceeds stays in our 29 county service area to fund local screening, treatment, and education programs. The remaining 25 percent supports the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program, which fund groundbreaking breast cancer research. In 2012 our Affiliate sent $400K to Komen National for research grants and $2.4M was granted to UNC and Duke for breast cancer research.

Q: Does the Komen Race for the Cure® require fundraising?
A: It is not required. However, participant fundraising is critical to the success of the programs funded by Komen North Carolina Triangle to the Coast.
