Take "The $250 Challenge"

The $250 ChallengePlease check the online registration box and take The $250 Challenge. If every 2009 Race participant had raised at least $250, Komen Greater NYC would have been able to provide $500,000 more in grants to help local organizations provide breast health education, screening and treatment. (For those of you who raised a lot more than $250 in previous years, please keep up the good work!) When you register online, check that you want to participate. If you're already registered, just raise a minimum of $250. Either way, you'll be helping Komen Greater NYC provide more grants to our community, and you'll be eligible to receive pledge prizes.

This is a sample of what your $250 provides:

  • A full clinical breast exam including mammography
  • Two mammograms
  • Educational information on good breast health
  • Hot nutritious meals for women with breast cancer and their children
  • Patient navigation services for women with abnormal mammograms
  • Legal assistance for women with breast cancer

Please join us in this goal. Working together, we will eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.

Why do we Race?

  • Because the greatest risk factors for getting breast cancer are being female and getting older.
  • Because breast cancer knows no boundary be it age, gender, socioeconomic status, or geographic location.
  • Because one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
  • We race because it makes a real difference - just look at the number of survivors at the Race every year; they are a testament to our success. Together we can realize our promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever.
