Fundraising for Komen

Planning a Fundraising Activity?

We are honored to be contacted so often by passionate members of our community wanting to organize an event or promotion benefiting breast cancer awareness and research. The Lubbock Area Affiliate of Komen for the Cure® partners with others because it benefits both parties in terms of public awareness.

As a grassroots organization, the Lubbock Area Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure relies on the commitment of its communities and their personal initiatives on behalf of the fight against breast cancer. Komen for the Cure has trademarked hundreds of events from Bowl for the Cure to Laugh for the Cure and more. Many events involve something as simple as donating the net proceeds of a day of shopping at a small boutique. Others are large fundraising events such as a golf tournament or concert with net proceeds benefiting your Komen Lubbock Area Affiliate. Countless individuals and organizations have put together their own such events with unprecedented success. Many are so pleased with the outpouring of interest and support in their efforts that they continue to organize their events annually.

We want to make this process as simple as possible. In order for us to give each event and/or promotion request its due attention, we ask that you first read through the Guidelines available to assist you in planning your event or promotion. If after you've read the guidelines, you are interested in entering into an agreement with the Komen Lubbock Area Affiliate, please fill out the Relationship Proposal Form online.

If you decide that the size of your event does not warrant the effort to follow these guidelines, there are three other ways to support Komen: Option 1:  You may want to consider registering for Passionately Pink for the Cure®.  This program allows individuals, business and clubs/groups to fundraise for Komen.  The website provides resources for your fundraising activities as well as a customizable web page.

Option 2:  You may want to consider not using the Komen name/logo and instead making a general statement that the funds raised will go to a local breast health organization or breast cancer research and support. We would be honored to receive funds raised and would give public recognition for your donation. Option 3:  Rally for the Cure® has expanded their well-established golf program to other events.  You can now plan a Rally for the Cure® program for sporting events like tennis, dinner events such as wine-tasting or group/club activities such as a bridge or book clubs.  Click here to learn how you can become a Rally Ambassador.
