Did you know that Race for the Cure teams have more fun and raise more money than individuals? They show up on Race day in wild outfits, have creative and fun fundraising parties and they support each other in the fight against breast cancer every day.
 
The teams often thrive well after the Race is over. Once they've made their financial impact on breast cancer, they care for each other when one is diagnosed, they celebrate when one finishes treatment, and they strategize how to make the next Race even better!
 
For 2012, we've made it easier than ever to form a team. Keep reading, and then talk to your friends - the benefits of being part of a team are significant. We want to help you make each Race for the Cure more memorable than the last!
 
It Starts with a Team Captain
Team captains register the team, invite people to join, and help keep members inspired and informed of the team’s fundraising progress. Learn more about becoming a team captain by downloading the official TEAM PACKET here!
