Fundraise

Why is fundraising so important?

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. If everyone raises $125.00 more than they did last year we will exceed our fundraising goal of $1.5 million.

IMAGINE THE IMPACT

Thanks to last year's fundraising efforts, the Komen Austin Affiliate will provide its largest single community investment of $1.139 million in local community grants for our five county service area this year. In addition, more than $450 thousand will be directed to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Award and Research Grant Program.

And remember, 75 percent net funds raised LOCALLY stays LOCALLY. The Komen Austin Affiliate provides funding to LOCAL non-profit healthcare organizations for breast health services for the underserved men and women in Travis, Bastrop, Hays, Williamson and Caldwell Counties. The remaining 25 percent funds the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research.

Every dollar makes an impact – thank you for everything you do!
