2011 Komen Greater NYC Race For the Cure

TUNE IN TO CBS2 ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 AT 7:00 P.M. EST FOR A ONE-HOUR KOMEN GREATER NYC SPECIAL!

Lace up your sneakers and register now because Sunday, September 18 is Race Day!

Thanks to your dedication, we raised $5.4 million last year and awarded $4.8 million in grants this year! To encourage you to raise even more, we are adding a major new feature to this year’s event: a fantastic new Pledge Prize Program with more levels, 10 or more prizes to choose from at each level, and greater opportunity to earn prizes.

Take our $250 Challenge - just raise $250 and you’ll be eligible to choose a reward that’s perfect for you. We have simple Fundraising Tips to help you as well as many letters you can email that will be available to you in your own Race Participant Center after you register. Remember, registering gets us to the start line, fundraising gets us to the cures!

We are bringing back the Survivor Race T-Shirt Fashion Show and the Survivor Parade, both inaugurated last year and big successes. Be sure to join us in the Bandshell after the Race for both.

We look forward to the return of all of our teams, individuals, Co-Survivors, and especially our Survivors, as well as seeing a lot of new faces. Just click on the appropriate button on the right and get started --register or donate, it's never too soon to run breast cancer out of town!

Sleep In for the Cure^®

 

Not a morning person? Are you going to be out of town on Race Day? Can’t get a sitter for the kids? Do you have to work?

For those who prefer to snooze rather than lace up their running shoes, sign up for Sleep In for the Cure and help run breast cancer out of town from home or wherever you’ll be on September 18! Support Komen Greater NYC from the comfort of your own bed and still have an impact on the fight against breast cancer.

Participants who register for this program will receive a Race t-shirt and a special bib and, best of all, everything will be mailed to you. Register as a Sleep In for the Cure participant, by choosing the "Sleep in for the Cure" option as your participation type.

Remember, you can join any regular Race team as a Sleep In for the Cure member - just choose the "Sleep in for the Cure as a Team Member" participation type. You will even be eligible for our fantastic new pledge prize program, featuring many gifts to choose from at each level, for your team or individual fundraising efforts.
