Race for the Cure » Race Pledges

The Friends for the Cure® Donations Program is a way by which the Komen for the Cure Race participants can do even more to help in the fight against breast cancer. You can go the extra mile by collecting pledges from family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. In this way, those who can't make it to the race can support your participation with their pledges, which are tax deductible. If every participant collected $100.00 each in pledges, we could give an additional $480,000.00 to the cause! All you need to do is ask 10 friends for $10.00.

You can also earn great prizes while supporting the cause. Prizes will be awarded to those who collect pledges of $150 or more AND turn them in by the morning of the race - Sept. 29th, 2007

Any pledge checks can be made out to Komen Grand Rapids Race for the Cure®.

The prizes to be awarded are as follows:

• $150 Pink Ribbon Gift
• $350 Certificate for a pair of New Balance shoes.
• $1000 $100.00 Gift Card to the New Balance Store
• $2500 $250.00 Gift Card to the New Balance Store

• The Top Individual Fundraiser (in excess of $2,000) will receive round-trip air transportation on American Airlines and/or American Eagle to any destination in the contiguous U.S.
• Adults, children, and officially registered Race teams raising the most funds will be awarded 1st 2nd, and 3rd place prizes.

To be eligible to collect these prizes, pledge money must be turned in at pre-registration or on Race Day at the Pledge table. No prizes will be given after the Race. Please add up on-line donations and bring a copy of your final total on your fundraising page as well as donations you have physically collected for your total.

In order to receive the New Balance shoes, you must obtain an official certificate at the pledge table on a pre-registration day or on Race Day. In order to receive the New Balance Gift Certificates, you must fill out an official blue mail in form at the pledge table on a pre-registration day or on Race Day.
