IMAGINE THE IMPACT

How does a 5K Race make a huge impact on the global movement to end breast cancer forever?  Through the fundraising efforts of every participant.

We were fortunate to have so many contributions come in near Race day that we are still adding all the information to our system.  We hope to be done by Friday 11/4 so please check your participant center on Saturday 11/5 for new totals.  If donations you made are still not showing, please be patient.  We are a small staff and working as quickly as we can. 

Fundraising for the 2011 Komen Iowa Race for the Cure will remain open until November 18, 2011.  After that date, anyone eligible for fundraising rewards (see below for more details!) will be notified with their award certificate and redepmtion information.  Keep the pink passion going from this weekend and help us reach our goal of raising more than $1 million this year!

Fundraising is easy with online fundraising tools! When you registered for the Race you automatically received your own fundraising website which can be personalized. Start now by logging in, and encouraging everyone you know to visit your site, see what you are doing in the fight against breast cancer and make a donation on your behalf. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by the Affiliate stays right here in the local community! The remaining income goes to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program to fund research.

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

Please help us track your donations and thank your friends and family for their generous gifts by attaching the Komen Iowa 2011 Fundraising Form to your mailed donations.   Donations can be sent to:  Komen Iowa, PO Box 65664, West Des Moines, Iowa, 50265.  Please do not mail cash.
