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.

Check back for Sponsorship Opportunities for the 2009 Race. For sponsorship information please contact the Race office (raceforthecure@karmanos.org / 248-351-1861).

Please click here for pictures from the 2008 Race. If you find yourself in a picture, please share a Race day memory by emailing raceforthecure@karmanos.org.

Thanks to all of our 2008 sponsors and donors - your generosity will help us achieve record success in moving closer to our goal: ending breast cancer forever.
