Salt Lake City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®The genesis of the Salt Lake City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® was in 1996 when several women whose lives had been touched by breast cancer independently contacted the headquarters of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in Dallas about establishing a Race for the Cure in Utah. Komen for the Cure put these women in touch with one another and the result was the first Komen Salt Lake City Race for the Cure®. As participants in a first-time event, runners in the group anticipated the race would attract between 600 and 900 participants. That first Salt Lake City Race actually attracted over 1,700 participants and has been growing ever since. In 2010, the fourteenth year of the Salt Lake City Race, the number of participants increased to over 17,000 making it the largest run/walk in the state of Utah!
How are the funds raised and distributed?
100% of pledges and donations plus any sponsorship fees and participant registration fees (less event costs and expenses) from the Romp to Stomp benefit the local affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
There are two sources of funds generated by the Romp for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. First, participants are encouraged to raise funds as a part of their involvement in the Romp to Stomp. Secondly, the Romp generates a certain amount of revenue through sponsorship, registration fees. This revenue is totaled, total event expenses are subtracted, and the total proceeds are given back to Komen! We do our best to put on an exceptional, quality event series that minimizes expenses to ensure more funds go to our beneficiary.
Once the funds are totaled and given to the beneficary, how are the funds distributed?
75% of the funds will directly support the education and efforts of each local affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® associated with the Romp. Komen will use the remaining 25% to support national research to help end breast cancer.
