Fundraising for Komen
Planning a Fundraising Activity?
We are honored to be contacted so often by passionate members of our community wanting to organize an event or promotion benefiting breast cancer awareness and research. The Southwest Florida Affiliate of Komen for the Cure partners with others because it benefits both parties in terms of public awareness.
In order for us to give each event and/or promotion request its due attention, we ask that you first call our office to speak with the executive director Miriam Ross at 239-498-0016. We want to make this process as simple as possible so we will post these guidelines shortly.

If you decide that the size of your event does not warrant the effort, there are three other ways to support Komen: Option 1: You may want to consider registering for Passionately Pink for the Cure®. This program allows individuals, business and clubs/groups to fundraise for Komen. The website provides resources for your fundraising activities as well as a customizable web page. Option 2: You may want to consider not using the Komen name/logo and instead making a general statement that the funds raised will go to a local breast health organization or breast cancer research and support. We would be honored to receive funds raised and would give public recognition for your donation. Option 3: Rally for the Cure® has expanded their well-established golf program to other events. You can now plan a Rally for the Cure® program for sporting events like tennis, dinner events such as wine-tasting or group/club activities such as a bridge or book clubs.
