YOUR TEAM, YOUR IMPACT

Participating in the Susan G. Komen Kansas City Race for the Cure with a team multiplies the fun, the laughter and maybe even the tears that you share on Race day.

Rally around someone you know who was just diagnosed, someone who has fought the battle, or someone who may have lost the battle. Together, with your friends, family and co-workers, you make an even greater impact than you could alone. There is power in numbers!

Still need to register and create your team?

Click here to begin immediately!

When you register for the Race you automatically receive your own fundraising web site (your customized Participant Center). Teams receive an additional Team fundraising page. Your Team page is a website that friends and family can visit to find a team member or give a donation that supports the fundraising efforts of the entire team. Personalize your Race fundraising website. Use it to tell friends and family why you participate in the Race for the Cure. You can even accept donations online, right from your fundraising website. To make your page more dynamic, upload a link to a video clip or activate the blog feature. All of this and more is waiting for your Team once you register for the Race! Team fundraising for the Race is easy with online tools!

Team Captains have the ability to customize the Team website with a team photo and story ... teams that personalize their pages typically raise more money!

What is a Team?

• A team is any group of 10 people or more who want to participate in the Race as a group. 
• This group may consist of friends, family, co-workers, church and civic groups, schools, children or any combination thereof. 
• Team members do not have to participate in the same event. 
• A team can have participants in the same event or a combination of events (5K, 1 mile, etc.). 
• There is no limit to the number of members you can have on your team. 
• Being part of a team is fun and a great way to experience the Race!

Team T-Shirt Contest

Design a t-shirt to show your team spirit! If you have a special t-shirt that your team will wear for the race, please bring us an example to the Team T-shirt Pick-up or to the Komen Kansas City office located at 1111 Main Street, Suite 450, Kansas City, MO 64105 for display on Race day for our team t-shirt contest. You can also turn in your shirts to be considered for the contest at Teams late registration and packet pick up on August 6, 2013. The t-shirt that receives the most votes at the Race (in terms of the amount of money raised) will be our winner and honored on our web site. The t-shirt will not be returned. We ask that you please reserve the shirt color pink for our survivor participants.
