Race Fundraising FAQ

Q: Does Race for the Cure require fundraising?

A:  Fundraising is not required, however we would like you to imagine the impact that fundraising for Race for the Cure can have.

Imagine the impact…
Seventy-five percent of the dollars you raise will fund vital services across Oregon and SW Washington, while twenty-five percent will be combined with other Affiliates’ funds to fuel national breast cancer research at an unprecedented level.

    *$10 funds ten support booklets for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
    *$25 pays for a gas card for a low-income woman driving over 75 miles one way to get a mammogram.
    *$77 can fund a free screening mammogram for one uninsured woman

If every Race participant raises just $77 in addition to their registration fee, every one of the more than 44,000 uninsured and low-income women in Oregon and SW Washington will be able to receive live-saving breast cancer screening.
