Komen Dallas Race for the Cure

The Komen Dallas Race for the Cure® is an annual 1K and 5K fundraising walk/run event held at NorthPark Center. It is a co-ed race and great fun for the entire family.  The Race is in its 30th year and is part of a national 5K series sponsored by Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The goal of the event is to raise funds, heighten awareness and educate people about breast health as well as to recognize and celebrate breast cancer survivorship.

How the Race Funds are Used: Up to 75 percent of the net income from our Affiliate Race stays in the local community to fund breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects. A minimum of 25 percent of the net income from our Affiliate Race supports the Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Programs, which fund groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific conferences around the world.

The Race is the largest fundraising event for local breast cancer screening, treatment, education and research in Dallas County. Last year our affiliate granted $1,912,000 into the immediate Dallas community for these vital services. $679,829 was directed to cutting edge research at the national level.
