Teams
A team is comprised of 10 or more participants and provides the opportunity to
celebrate life and make a difference in the fight against breast cancer with
those closest to you. Families, businesses, and organizations can honor breast
cancer survivors or celebrate the lives of lost loved ones. Teams build employee
morale, and boost the sense of affiliation and camaraderie for any organization!
Team captains are responsible for picking up and distributing Race materials.
Please check the Team Captain Kit for more information

Why a Team?
The Team Program offers groups of 10 or more people from all walks of life the
opportunity to make a difference in our community. Corporations, community
organizations, schools, families and friends - all can take part in the largest
grassroots effort in the country in the fight breast cancer.
- Together as a team you can speak with one voice in support of a coworker,
mother, friend, sister, whose life has been changed by the words, "You have
breast cancer." Worldwide, that happens every 29 seconds!
- Together as a team you can spread the word about early detection as the key to
survival.
Detected early, breast cancer is over 95% survivable.
- Together as a team you can raise money to support life saving education,
outreach, treatment and research. Since Komen Detroit's first Race in 1992, we
have invested more than $17.5 million in breast cancer screening and
treatment programs in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, in addition to
supporting the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program for
breast cancer research.
- And together, you'll have a great time! Wonderful sponsors make our Team Awards
Program terrific!
