FAQ
Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure The Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure is one of the city’s largest, most exuberant outdoor events. Our participants are deeply committed to the fight to end breast cancer and many return year after year to show their support. In 2009, more than 10,000 people gathered in Grant Park to celebrate survivorship and remember those lost to the disease. Many local television and radio personalities were on hand to take part in the event, and Governor Quinn was presented the Komen Champion for the Cure Award for his commitment to address breast health disparities in the city of Chicago. In 2010, the Affiliate proudly introduces the addition of a second Race and have partnered with the Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL to bring the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to the suburbs. Both events will take place on the same weekend, thus providing additional exposure and visibility for our proud corporate partners. Komen Chicagoland Affiliate and your company will work together to determine the best way to increase your company’s exposure at both the Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure events.Race Information
