There are many creative ways to raise money for the Komen National Race for the Cure. The two major avenues are the Pledge for the Cure® Program and 3rd Party Events.

Race Pledge Program


Pledge prizes will be given to fundraisers at the following levels.  If you raise:

$100 – 249: Promise Rings
$250 – 599: Business Card Holder
$600 – 999: Grocery Tote
$1,000 – 1,499: Travel Tumbler

Pledges received by close of business on Friday June 6 will count toward the pledge prize program. Prizes must be redeemed in person at the Pledge Prize Tent on Race Day; photo ID is required. Prizes will NOT be available or mailed post-Race.  

Registered Race participants encourage friends, family and colleagues to pledge money on their behalf or on behalf of their Race Team. (Pledge to a Team).You can pledge online, or by downloading a printable 2008 Pledge for the Cure form. 

3rd Party Events
