Volunteer Opportunities

Sponsorship Opportunites

Local sponsorship is critical to our being able to support local breast cancer programs and national research grants. Sponsor gifts help underwrite Race expenses and, along with entry fees and donations from Race participants, go directly toward funding breast cancer services and research. When you invest in a Susan G. Komen North Texas Ride for the Cure® sponsorship, you invest in the lives of the people closest to you... the people of your community... your family, colleagues, neighbors and friends.  Up to 75 percent of net funds raised stay in North Texas Affiliate to support education, screening and treatment initiatives and a minimum of 25 percent is contributed to the Komen national research efforts.

Learn more about sponsorship opportunities for the 2012 Komen North Texas Ride for the Cure by downloading the brochure.
