Who are you running for? — Join in the fight against breast cancer by running a full or half marathon through Marathon for the Cure™
Rally for the Cure — Golf, tennis, dinner events and so much more...
A brand to trust — We are honored that Susan G. Komen for the Cure® ranked number one in a recent Harris Interactive poll as the most valued non-profit brand and the charity people are most likely to donate money to. Additionally, Komen for the Cure ranked second on the 2010 list of the nation’s most trusted charities. Thank you to all who help us daily in the fight to end breast cancer!
Participating in the Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure® with a team multiplies the fun, the laughter and maybe even the tears that you share on Race Day. It also strengthens the impact that you have on the movement to end breast cancer. Together, with your friends, family and co-workers, you make an even greater impact than you can alone.
NOW is the time to get started planning your team, and we’ve got some great tools to help you out!

Fundraising
Last year, more than
200 teams raised more than $800,000 for the fight to end breast
cancer. That’s a huge impact! This year, our goal is for Komen Race teams to
make an even greater impact. To get there, we are counting on your leadership.
One of the best ways to inspire
your team members to fundraise is to lead by example and start fundraising
yourself. To begin, view our
Fundraising Tips.

Awards and Fundraising Rewards

awards help drive the friendly competition that makes each year better than the
last. Check out our team awards page for more information on how we recognize our top performing

Don’t forget to remind your team members that any member who raises $150 or more will be eligible for wonderful fundraising rewards ranging from tote bags and “Komen-wear” to flat screen tv’s and digital camcorders. The more you (or they) raise the better the prize.
