Since 2001, Yoplait has been the National Presenting Sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Series. As the largest 5K run and fitness walk in the world, the Race raises both funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer.
From 1 to 100
The Komen Race for the Cure Series began in 1983 as a local Dallas, Texas race with some 800 participants. Today, more than 100 races nationwide make up the Series, with over 1 million people participating.
Local Support
Up to 75% of the net income from each Race stays in its local community, funding breast health education efforts, breast cancer screenings and treatment projects. A minimum of 25% of the net income supports the Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational scientific programs around the world.
Raising Awareness, Building Support
Of course the money the Series raises is vital to our fight for a cure. But just as important is its effort to raise awareness and enthusiasm for that fight. At every race, you'll see women in pink caps and tee shirts, identifying them as breast cancer survivors. Their very presence reminds us why we're fighting so hard and that we're going to win.
