Fundraise
How does a 5K Race make a huge impact on the movement to end breast cancer forever?
Answer: 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 people like you, the Komen Chicagoland Affiliate was able to fund $1.4 million in 2010 for education, screening and treatment services in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties from funds raised by Komen Chicago and our 2009 Race for the Cure. This year we’re aiming even higher! Together, we can save lives!
