How to Become a Race Sponsor

Local sponsorship is critical to our being able to support local breast cancer programs and national research grants. Sponsor gifts help underwrite Race expenses and, along with entry fees and donations from Race participants, go directly toward funding breast cancer services and research. When you invest in a Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure® sponsorship, you invest in the lives of the people closest to you... the people of your community... your family, colleagues, neighbors and friends. Up to 75 percent of net funds raised stay in our 24-county service area to support education, screening and treatment initiatives and a minimum of 25 percent is contributed to the Komen national research efforts.

Without the generous support of our Race for the Cure sponsors, we would not be able to provide funds for our community health grantees who educate men and women in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan on breast health, as well as provide screenings and treatment options.
