IMAGINE THE IMPACT

How does a 5K Race make a huge impact on the global movement to end breast cancer forever?  Through the fundraising efforts of every participant.

You don’t need to be a fundraising expert to be successful at it – you just need the desire to stand up to breast cancer and make a difference.  Thanks to the efforts of fundraisers, in 2009 the Komen Tarrant County Affiliate was able to fund $1,495,000 for education, screening and treatment services in Tarrant County.  This year, we’re aiming even higher!  If every Race participant raised an average of $100 over the registration fee, the Komen Tarrant County Affiliate would raise an additional $1,800,000!  Your registration fee gets us to the start line, fundraising gets us to the cure!

Fundraising is easy with online fundraising tools! When you registered for the Race you automatically received your own fundraising website that you can personalize. Start now by logging in, and encouraging everyone you know to visit your site, see what you are doing in the fight against breast cancer and make a donation on your behalf. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by the Affiliate stay right here in the local community! The remaining income goes to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program to fund research.
