ALL proceeds go directly to the Komen Foundation. Fans can share their thoughts or ask questions about future Race Fans for a Cure events through the site's Talk to Us link. The website also highlights Dale Jarrett's contributions to the cause. The booth offers information about the Komen Foundation and its mission, the three steps to early breast cancer detection, and is equipped to accept donations from fans. We have enjoyed meeting the fans and are inspired by the kindness and generosity when they visit the booth to honor a loved one or share their personal story.
Fans also receive a keepsake enamel ribbon to show their support.
All proceeds go to the Komen Foundation. Fans can also make online donations via credit card. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at age 36. The Foundation runs one of the most innovative, responsive grant programs in breast cancer today. In addition to funding research, the Foundation and its Affiliates fund community-based breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved.
