Susan G. Komen
Race for the Cure - Seattle Center
The Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure first began in 1984 to unite the breast cancer community, celebrate survivors, raise money for breast cancer research and honor those who lost their lives to the disease. Seventy-five percent of the net funds raised through the race go towards local programs. Runners and walkers can participate individually or form teams.
Pink Boat Regatta
Pink Boat Regatta - September 8, 2018
Every year, sailors and supporters come together for the Pink Boat Regatta dressed in their best pink outfits to be on the water together. This sailing event raises money for the Breast Cancer Research Fund.
In the community
Yellow ball project
The SCCA yellow ball project started in March 2017. Since then, we've been inviting people from our community to write the names of loved ones who have been affected by cancer on a yellow ball and drop it into the orb. To date, we have collected more than 2,000 names.
We invite you to help fill the orb by writing the name of a cancer patient who inspires you. Once filled, the orb and the yellow balls will become part of a community art installation.
When in-person events return, look for the yellow ball project at the SCCA booth at events around Seattle.
Thank you for lending your voice, your memories and your inspiration to this project. It is through collaboration that we are Better Together.
