Become a Fund Raiser

Your race registration gets you to the start line – your fundraising will help get us all to the cures! We encourage all participants to raise at least $100. But don’t stop there! There are great prizes for higher fundraising levels. Click here to learn more about Fundraising for the Cure and our great prizes.

The Power of 10!

Ask 10 people for $10. That’s all it takes to make a difference.  If every participant collected at least $100 in pledge/donations, we would have an additional $350,000 to fund breast cancer research and provide education, screening and support services to those in our community who cannot afford them.

The Race for the Cure is our signature fundraising event.  Last year 35% of the people registered were also fundraisers. We want to increase the number to 75%! We need your help! We make fundraising easy by giving you all the tools you need to be successful and then we reward you with prizes for all your hard work.  Click here for more information.
