Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K
75 percent of net proceeds from the Race will remain in north central Alabama to fund community projects related to breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment. Through events like the Komen North Central Alabama Race for the Cure, we have invested over $2 million in local breast health education, screening and awareness programs throughout 38 counties in north central Alabama. The remainder of the net proceeds (a minimum of 25 percent) is contributed to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Research Grant Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research.
