Fundraising FAQs

Q:   Does the Komen Race for the Cure® require fundraising?

A:   We encourage all participants to fundraise. Just Imagine the IMPACT - If every Race participant raised just $100 in addition to their registration fee, we would bring in an additional $1,000,000 to support local screening, treatment and educational programs in our Southwest Florida community.


Q:   Where does my money go?

A:   In 2011 we put over 1 Million Dollars back into our Southwest Florida community.

  75 % of all our net proceeds stay right here in our 5 county Southwest Florida community and are used for local screening, education and treatment programs.  

  25 % is used to fund breast cancer research nationally.  Komen is the world's largest source of  non-governmental funding for breast cancer research.


Q:   Are there fundraising incentives/awards?

A:   Yes.  We must receive all donations by Wednesday March 7, 2012 to be eligible for fundraising incentives.  Prizes will be available for pick up on Race day only at the Coconut Point tent on Fashion Drive.  Incentives will not be mailed.
