Event Day Volunteer - Komen Chicago Race for the Cure

This May, community members from around the greater Chicago area will gather together to celebrate the strength and resilience of all people affected by breast cancer while also raising vital funds to help Susan G. Komen invest in groundbreaking breast cancer research AND provide real-time assistance to help with treatment, medication, transportation services, and so much more.

Volunteers play a critical role in the success of the Race for the Cure.

From helping us set up the expo area to distributing water along the course, there are plenty of ways for individuals and groups to get involved!
