In Case You Were Wondering...
Breast Cancer 3-Day Facts:
Participants make a commitment to meet an individual fundraising goal of $2,300 and spend several months training to prepare for the event. They devote the entire three-day weekend to the cause.
Since its inception in 2003, more than $400 million has been raised through Breast Cancer 3-Day donations, contributions and sponsorships.
In 2008, the Breast Cancer 3-Day raised more than $110 million through donations, contributions and sponsorships. Of that, more than $79 million, representing 72% of funds raised, was invested in breast cancer research, education, and community health programs. The 72% return to charity exceeds the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Standards for Charity Accountability: www.give.org.
Breast Cancer 3-Day walkers travel an average of 20 miles a day during the event. Participants are provided meals, snacks, drinks, shower facilities, tents, safety guidelines and 24-hour medical support -- all resources needed for a safe and memorable experience.
The all-volunteer Crew spends the entire weekend with walkers and staff to make the event possible.
