How does Austin's largest 5K race make an impact on the global movement to end breast cancer forever?When you register for the Susan G. Komen Austin Race for the Cure® your registration fee mainly covers the cost of putting on the Race. Only 20% of Race participants raise funds each year, meaning 80% does not. Last year the average Race participant raised $179. This year if each of us would commit to a minimum of $125, which is the cost of a mammogram, Komen Austin would be able to give back more than $2.6 MILLION to local breast programs, and to research for the cures. |
