Friends for the Cure is the Komen Phoenix Affiliate's Race pledge program. Whether you are a registered Race participant or not, you can make a difference by making a donation or by collecting donations from your family members, friends and colleagues.
In 2007, an estimated 178,480 women and 2,030 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 40,460 women and 450 men will lose their lives to this disease. Raising additional pledges means you will have a greater impact on the lives of women and men affected by breast cancer in Central and Northern Arizona. Since 1993, the Phoenix Affiliate has granted over $11 million to breast cancer treatment, education, prevention and outreach programs in Central and Northern Arizona and to breast cancer research.
In honor of the 15th Anniversary of the Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure®, we challenge each person to collect or directly donate $150 - about the cost of a mammogram and breast health education. If every Race participant alone reached this goal, we would raise $6 million to help end breast cancer forever!
