#TogetherApart

Clearly we can't gather 10,000 strong in the park, but we can remain together in our mission while staying responsibly apart physically! Race for the Cure is a critical fundraiser that fuels programs and research throughout the year. That is the Together element and it remains as true today as ever, arguably more than ever as many facing breast cancer now find themselves with increased financial distress as well. The changes for 2020 are all in the ceremony and celebration associated with Race Day, even the physical walk itself. This is where the Apart element comes into play! We can still celebrate and hold ceremony using the tools now common to our digital world. We are working to leverage these tools in a way that gives you much more than a digital video to watch, something that captures the excitement and community of a traditional Race Day, but with virtual hugs rather than physical ones. #TogetherApart, you make our hearts Race.

The 30-Hour Extravaganza - a Virtual Race Day Celebration

This fast-paced, multi-location 30-hour virtual event will highlight everything that makes Race Day so special, even as we find ourselves together apart. The digital, live-streaming event affords sponsors, corporate teams, and community teams dedicated time slots to highlight their unique relationship with the Komen Community. Featured live events will include opening and closing ceremonies, a Kids for the Cure celebration, a virtual Survivor/Thriver Ceremony and Celebration of Hope, sponsored start and finish lines with photos, as well as live and pre-recorded celebrity videos.

The Journey to 30

This vibrant, multi-layered, 30-day engagement and fundraising challenge is designed to inspire and connect members across the Komen Community. The Journey to 30 serves as the shared community experience for our 30th Annual Race for the Cure — bringing us together in common cause, much the same as walking the course has done for three decades. Whether participants choose to focus on fitness, cooking, or just dedicate day to day activities, they will find opportunities to engage and share their commitment to the cause. This is sure to be a vibrant, exciting multi-dimensional program with new sponsor opportunities throughout the entire 30 days of programming.
