Pledge

Pledges account for most of the money raised at the New York City Race for the Cure®. Help run breast cancer out of town by getting friends and family to pledge today! If every participant raised just $250, Komen Greater NYC would be able to award $5 million in grants to local community breast health programs, as well as provide more funding for research. Even if this is your first time, you have the capacity to be an incredible fundraiser! Just ask. People will be happy to support the mission of a world without breast cancer.
