Planning a Fundraising Event?

We are happy 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 Komen Richmond Affiliate partners with others because it benefits both parties in terms of public awareness.

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 guide 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 Richmond Affiliate, please fill out the Event Promotion Request Form.

If you decide that the size of your event does not warrant the effort to follow these guidelines.  You have two other options.

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. Click Here to learn how you can become Passionately Pink!

Option 2:  You may want to consider not using the Komen name/logo and make a general statement that the funds raised will go to a local breast health organization or breast cancer research and support. You may use the pink ribbon logo. The symbol is public domain and does not "belong" to Komen. We would be happy to receive funds raised in this manner 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.
