Fundraising FAQs
Q: Does the Komen Race for the Cure® require fundraising?
A:You are not required to fundraise, but we do encourage all participants to fundraise above the entry fee. Just Imagine the IMPACT - If every Race participant raises 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 community!
Q: Where does my money go?
A: We maintain the philosophy of "what is raised here stays here" with 75 percent of net proceeds being used for local programs, and 25 percent used to fund breast cancer research nationally. The Komen Southwest Florida Affiliate serves Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry and Lee Counties.
Q: Are there fundraising incentives/awards?
A: Awards will be posted by Dec. 1.
Q: Is there a deadline for fundraising?
A: The Affiliate must receive donations by March 31, 2011 to be eligible for Top Individual & Team awards.
Q. What are some ways I can fundraise for my individual/Team goal?
