Fundraising FAQs
Every dollar makes an impact – thank you for everything you do!
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 registration fee. Just Imagine the IMPACT - If every Race participant raises just $125 in addition to their registration fee, we could raise more than $3 million to support local screening, treatment and educational programs in our community!
Q: Does the money raised stay right here in our community?
Yes! Up to Seventy-five 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 Programs, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research.
