The Breast Cancer 3-Day Series

Date:

Thursday, November 13-15, 2009

The Breast Cancer 3-Day is an opportunity to educate tens of thousands of people about breast health, including the importance of early detection. Participants spend months training and raising the $2,200 required fundraising minimum in preparation for the event.

The Breast Cancer 3-Day is not for everyone. It is unlike other events in that, for many, it is a life-changing journey that starts months in advance with training and fundraising. The journey culminates in a challenging weekend that requires participants to walk nearly the length of a marathon three days in a row, sleep in tents and eat under the stars. Sometimes it's hot. Sometimes it's rainy. In the end, the challenge they undertake not only lends invaluable visible and financial support to the breast cancer movement, participants find the camaraderie the event fosters helps strengthen old friendships or create new ones that last a lifetime.

Proceeds from the Breast Cancer 3-Day are used for breast cancer research and community outreach programs. As the primary beneficiary of the Breast Cancer 3-Day, Susan G. Komen for the Cure receives 85 percent of net proceeds and the remaining 15 percent goes to the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
