Sponsorship

Thanks to all of our 2011 sponsors and donors - your generosity helped us move closer to our goal: ending breast cancer forever. We hope we can count on you again in 2012.

Local sponsorship is critical to raising funds to support local breast cancer programs and national research. Along with entry fees and donations, sponsorship funds go directly toward funding breast cancer services and research.

Align yourself with one of the top fundraising events in Michigan. Sponsorship opportunities for the 2012 Race are available now. Click here for the 2012 Sponsorship Brochure and learn further details. Download our 2012 Sponsor Contract or contact our Komen Detroit office (raceforthecure@karmanos.org / 248-304-2080) to get started.

A pink banner can show your pride on Race day. Highlight your organization or honor someone special with a personal message. The cost is $200 when combined with another sponsorship, or $250 alone.

Contact our office today to order your banner: raceforthecure@karmanos.org / 248.304.2080.
