Sponsorship

Local sponsorship is critical to raising funds to support local breast cancer programs and national research grants and programs. Sponsor gifts help underwrite Race expenses, and, along with entry fees and donations from Race participants, go directly toward funding breast cancer services and research.

Sponsorship opportunities are available! Click here for the 2010 Sponsorship Brochure. For further sponsorship information please contact the Race office (raceforthecure@karmanos.org / 248-304-2080).

Please click here for pictures from the 2010 Race. If you find yourself in a picture, please share a Race day memory by emailing raceforthecure@karmanos.org.

Thanks to all of our 2010 sponsors and donors - your generosity helps us move closer to our goal: ending breast cancer forever.
