Fundraise

Sweet 16 Saves is more than a phrase… it’s a challenge to each Race participant to make a spectacular impact toward the Komen mission “to save lives and end breast cancer forever.” Be a part of this challenge by fundraising during the 16th anniversary of the Baton Rouge Komen Race for the Cure.

Imagine… if every Race participant raises just $100 in addition to their registration fee, we would raise $1.4 million. Imagine the lives saved!

Team Fundraising: Help your team set an ambitious fundraising goal and encourage them to set an individual goal to assist in reaching the team goal. Reach your goals through our new program, Komen Koaches. Let our veteran fundraisers be your personal coach!

Individual Fundraising: When registering online, your personal webpage is automatically created. Your customizable webpage makes fundraising easy! Log on to set a personal fundraising goal, and begin inviting friends, family, co-workers, and colleagues to make a donation in your name.

Rewards: From cool gear to electronics, your individual fundraising can earn you great prizes through our Rewards Program. Everyone is eligible for prizes, all you have to do is provide your email address when registering for the Race! (See important guidelines at www.komenbatonrouge.org under Race for the Cure > Fundraise and a full list of rewards at http://komen.summitmg.com.)

2012 Pink Honor Roll: The top 50 individual fundraisers will be recognized as members of the Affiliate’s prestigious Pink Honor Roll. Recognition will also be given to the Top Fundraising Team Captain and the Top Fundraising Individual.

Thank you to our 2011 PINK HONOR ROLL members... the funds raised by these leaders are hard at work in programs across our 10 parish service area!

Imagine… dramatically increasing research funding and the number of area women (and men) who are informed, screened and treated early!
