Komen 3-Day for the Cure

Description

This August thousands of women and men will come together in an amazing display of courage and commitment. They'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days, each raising $2,300 or more to fight breast cancer. As participants cover the mileage on foot, volunteers help along the way. As evening approaches, the walkers come home to an amazing camp, complete with sleeping tents, hot meals, showers, medical services and everything they need to rest up safely for the next day's journey. Our participants are not fundraising experts. They're not athletes. They're ordinary people who've been inspired to make a difference. Eighty-five percent of the net proceeds from the twelve Breast Cancer 3-Days benefit Susan G. Komen For the Cure and 15 percent benefit the National Philanthropic Trust to fund crucial breast cancer research and community outreach programs.
