Paying Tribute to Loved Ones on Race Day

Many Race for the Cure participants are running in memory of, or in celebration of, a loved one who has been affected by breast cancer. We encourage participants to recognize those loved ones on Race Day, and we have several opportunities for you to do so.

“In Celebration of” & “In Memory of” Back Signs
Participants are invited to recognize special people in their lives with our free-of-charge “In Memory of” and “In Celebration of” back signs. Look for these small, pink, customizable signs in the Fisher Pavilion registration area on Race day. We encourage you to wear the sign(s) on your back along the Race route.

Thank you to Zeta Tau Alpha, National Sponsor of the Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program for making this tribute option available on Race day!

Laminated Tribute Posters Race participants have the opportunity to purchase a personalized, laminated, commemorative 11x17 poster with their honoree’s name and a personal message printed on it. The deadline to purchase posters is May 28, 2010. Posters will be available for pick up on Race day at Registration. Order Now

Race Day Tribute Wall
Participants are encouraged to add a photo(s) to our Tribute Wall in Seattle Center.  Participants can mail photos in advance to Komen Puget Sound (Attn: Tribute) or they can bring the photo(s) on Race day.  Photo size is not limited. Please note: we can not return photos.

Share Your Survivor Photo or Tribute Photo of a Loved One Lost
Would you like to have your photo featured on our Survivor or Tribute slideshow? You can choose to share photos two ways, via email and via Flickr.

1) Via Email
Submitting a photo to the group is as easy as sending an email.  Really! All you have to do is email your photo to Race2010@pskomen.org . In the email subject line, write the title of your photo.  In the body of the email, say the photo is for Flickr and write the description of your photo, your first and (optional) last name. Let us know if you want it to be added specifically to the following albums:

   •   Breast Cancer Survivor Album
   •   Breast Cancer Tribute Album
   •   Race for the Cure Puget Sound

When you hit "Send" the photo will be added to the Komen Puget Sound Flickr page and the “Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound” group photo pool.

2) Directly to Flickr
You can follow these simple steps to post photos to the “Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound” group:

   1. Sign up for a free Flickr account <http://www.flickr.com> then join our “Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound” group.

   2. Upload your photo to Flickr. Under privacy options, choose “public,” and put in the following tag, “Race for the Cure Puget Sound.”
       Remember to add a sentence explaining what the photo shows, along with your first and (optional) last name, city and country. 

   3. Click on the Flickr photo you'd like to submit. Open the “Send to Group” icon above the photo and you should see a list of groups you belong to. Select “Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound."  A message will appear that your photo has been added. Click “ok.”

   4. Joining Flickr assures you'll be able to see all of the photos posted to this group, as the photos of new members are only visible to other logged-in members. 

Please Note:
*“Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound” has the right to remove any photo deemed inappropriate.
*By uploading your photo to our Flickr account you give us permission to use and distribute your photo.
