Why We Race?

 team 2014

We Race Because…

1 in 8 infographic

  • One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
  • Every minute, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer.
  • Breast cancer knows no boundaries- be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location.
  • We continue to Race because at the current rate, 13 million breast cancer deaths around the world will occur in the next 25 years.

We fight these statistics together. Today, the survival rate is 99 percent thanks in part to Komen and the role it has played in the fight against breast cancer - transforming how the world talks about and treats this disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. This progress was made with your continued support and together we can achieve our vision of a world without breast cancer.  For more information on the 2015 Komen Tidewater Race for the Cure. To register or to donate, please click here! REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

Your registration gets you to the start line, but your fundraising gets us closer to the cure!

Fundraising Challenges

Save A Pair girl

Winners will be announaced here weekly and notified via email or phone call. The earings can be picked up at the Komen Tidewater office.

"Save a Pair
Get a Pair"

Your fundraising has an impact in our community. $125 is the average cost of a community grant funded mammogram; providing an uninsured woman or man in the Tidewater service area with a potentially life-saving screening.

Komen Tidewater has partnered with Kendra Scott Jewelry to bring you the "Save a Pair, Get a Pair" Challenge. When you donate $125 or more in a single donation (Save a Pair), you will receive a pair of Kendra Scott earrings (Get a Pair), valued at over $50. 

Challenge timeline: The challenge is on and will continue until all "Pairs" (earings) have been awarded. One pair per person.
