Each year, thousands of people participate in the Komen Southwest Michigan Race for the Cure® and raise money to fund research, education, screening and treatment. But among all of these, only a select 50 will emerge as members of the Race’s prestigious Pink Honor Roll.

The Pink Honor Roll was created to encourage and recognize the efforts of the top 50 fund raisers each year. In 2009, Pink Honor Roll members collectively raised more than $54,000 through their fundraising efforts with individual members generating $675 - $2,985 each!

Members of this exclusive club are rewarded and thanked at a special VIP Reception and have their names emblazoned on a special-edition Pink Honor Roll t- shirt for next year's Race. Pink Honor Roll honorees are invited to enjoy a lunch on Race day and are recognized throughout the year on the Komen Southwest Michigan website.
