The Susan G. Komen Foundation is the largest non-profit breast cancer foundation in the world today. Last year alone the foundation provided over 50,000 families affected by breast cancer with financial and social support. Susan G. Komen continues to grow every year by supporting research, spreading knowledge and providing grants to families affected by the disease.

The biggest event for the Susan G. Komen foundation is the Race for the Cure which takes place all over the country during the month of October. This year the Inland Empire race takes place on October 18 and the foundation hopes to raise over $500,000 for breast cancer research!
On the day of the race, make sure to visit the interactive I AM THE CURE booth. While you’re there make a Curemitment. A Curemitment is “a commitment, a goal, a personal promise – to take one or more action steps that may reduce their breast cancer risk.” Or if you can’t make it to the race but you’d still like to make a Curemitment, you can do so online here! Check here to see how you can fulfill your commitment.
Costumes are optional but if you’re going to wear one, opt for a tutu! Wear a tutu on race day and take a picture of yourself wearing your tutu with a sign explaining why you think the funds raised are vital to the community! Make sure to share you photo on social media and tag it #DoYouTutu!
After your race, make sure you stick around for the Survivor Ceremony, recognizing the survivors of breast cancer in attendance as well as the awards ceremony. Once you finish your race, you’ll definitely be hungry so head over to the food court area to enjoy some delicious dishes from Carl’s Concessions, Juice It Up, Lil Miss Shortcakes, Papa Murphy’s and Kona Ice.
The race takes place on October 18th and the race village opens the doors at 6 AM. The 10K starts at 7 while the 5K doesn’t start until 8. There’s still plenty of time to register! Head here to register you or your team for the race. We hope to see you out there supporting such a great cause! This year’s race is located at the Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium, only 20 minutes away from our home at Montecito at Dos Lagos.
