National Race for the Cure Volunteers Volunteers serve a critical role in the Komen National Race for the Cure . Many hours of service, talent and energy are donated by individuals from the surrounding community to ensure that the Komen National Race for the Cure remains the most successful 5K in the world. Many volunteers have very personal reasons for helping the National Race. Often they have been affected in some direct means by the reality of breast cancer.
Some people volunteer as a way to give back to and improve their community.
For others, it is simply a way of sharing an exciting activity that funds life-saving breast cancer research and education. Volunteers spend time supporting the Race office, registering participants and distributing and preparing materials. These are only a few of the many volunteer activities and opportunities available. Volunteers are also the backbone of support on Race day. Together, we will all be winners at the Race finish line.
