Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure
The Susan G. Komen 3-Day, frequently referred to as the 3-Day, is a 60-mile walk to raise funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and promote awareness to fight breast cancer. Individual participants must raise at least $2,300 to walk 60 miles (96 km) over a three-day weekend.
As of 2013, the events are held in seven US cities. Seven additional cities included in previous years have been dropped due to a 37% decline in participation.〔(Komen breast cancer charity cancels three-day events ) - BBC News (Released June 5, 2013)〕
==About==
The 3-Day is a series of three-day, 60-mile walks that raise millions of dollars for breast cancer research, education, and community health programs. 3-Day participants raise a minimum of $2,300 and walk an average of 20 miles a day, educating thousands of people about breast health. Walkers must be at least 16 years old or be accompanied by an adult. Crew members must be at least 18 years old, and volunteers must be at least 10 years old. A program called Youth Corps allows children ages 10-16 who have been affected by breast cancer to get involved, by providing the walkers with a youthful, energetic helping hand. The Komen 3-Day supports its participants before the event by providing coaches, training assistance, fundraising advice and a personal fundraising webpage.
The net proceeds fund breast cancer research, education, and community outreach programs. Since its inception, more than $500 million has been raised, but only approximately 15% of funds received goes towards the cancer research the organization exists to raise money for.〔http://www.salon.com/2013/05/06/why_did_komen_for_the_cure_give_nancy_brinker_a_64_percent_raise/〕
