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!
Fundraise
You can save a life in 15 minutes or less - write an email and send it to people who share your passion for bringing an end to breast cancer. Komen Sacramento is committed to winning the battle against a disease that impacts one in eight women, which is why fundraising is such a critical part of the Race for the Cure. Even the most shy among us can let email do the asking for you - it's this simple:
1. Build your personal page in your participant center - tell your story, share why ending breast cancer matters to you.
2. Set your personal goal - we suggest $225, that is the cost of a clinical breast exam and screening mammogram.
3. Invite friends to join your efforts - ask them to give what they feel is appropriate and affordable. Every dollar helps!
4. Read our e-blasts and visit our Race website often - we constantly update with tools to help you succeed!

You will be given special recognition and presented with a pink sash to wear on race day (or any other Komen events you wish to wear it to). Additionally you will be awarded a pin for each new year you make the Honor Roll to proudly wear on your sash. The 2011 Top 100 will be the founding members and will receive their sash and pin in time to wear for the 2012 Race.

Where Does The Money Go?For every $225 that is raised, we could provide a clinical exam and a diagnostic mammogram. For every $225 raised we could be saving a life. Early detection is the key to survival. Up to seventy-five percent of net funds raised at the Race for the Cure provides breast health screenings, education, outreach and treatment support for women in our community. At least twenty-five percent of net income funds global breast cancer research to find the cures. Learn more.
