Susan G. Komen three-day event returns to Dallas this fall.
The Susan G. Komen breast cancer organization announced the return of its annual Susan G. Komen 3-Day Series in four major cities — the 60- mile event comes to Dallas the Nov. 4 weekend.
The event involves thousands of women and men who take on the challenge to raise funds and walk 60 miles to support Komen’s mission, which, according to the foundation, “is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs of our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.”
Participants in the 3-Day include breast cancer survivors, co-survivors, individuals living with metastatic breast cancer, friends, family and other supporters, according to the announcement.
In addition to Dallas, Boston, San Diego and Chicago will host the 60-mile three-day events.
“We’re thrilled to be back in four cities with this life-changing series after having to postpone due to the pandemic,” says Paula Schneider, President and CEO of Susan G. Komen. “Last year, we were able to safely host one 3-Day event in San Diego, and we are excited to announce that we are back with an entire series in four major cities.”
Participants raise a minimum of $2,300 and walk an average of 20 miles a day for three consecutive days.
“This event annually brings people who unite together for one cause – to see a world without breast cancer,” Schneider says. “There are so many individuals that continued to train and fundraise for the past two years waiting for this moment where we can finally come together.”
She says the event raises critical funds that are vital to helping find new discoveries for breast cancer, provide much-needed support to individuals facing breast cancer, make long-lasting policy changes and unify the breast cancer community.
