Volunteers

The Komen Richmond Affiliate is a volunteer driven organization dedicated to furthering our mission and reaching out into the community making a difference in the fight against breast cancer. As Richmond Affiliate and the Richmond Race for the CureŽ continue to grow — so does year round involvement in the community. This means that more volunteers are needed to manage, organize and lead our race committees, our new programs, and our long range planning efforts. 

Komen credits its success to the many outstanding volunteers who share their energy, ideas, talents and enthusiasm. The Komen Richmond Affiliate offers hundreds of volunteer opportunities each year, from handing out water at the Komen Richmond Race for the CureŽ, to becoming a community spokesperson on the importance of early detection. Whether you are looking for a year-round commitment or a one-time event, The Komen Richmond Affiliate has a place for you.

Volunteer Spotlight:
Tena Boyd & Maureen Hanley

About a year ago, Tena Boyd from Old Waterloo Equine Clinic and Maureen Hanley from Fox Chase Farm, two women who did not know each other, were inspired at about the same time to create an event to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer among the horse riding community in their area. Through circumstance they were brought together and they organized the 1st ever Ride for the Cure Virginia in Middleburg, VA. A 2 hour trail ride was followed by an amazing dinner reception where riders and their friends and family came together to celebrate survivors and remember those who have lost their battles. Tena and Maureen worked tirelessly alongside their wonderful team of volunteers to make this event hugely successful, raising over $125,000. The Richmond Affiliate would like to thank Tena & Maureen for all of their hard work and dedication!
