Volunteer

On behalf of the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we’d like to thank our 500+ volunteers that showed their support during for the 2010 Race for the Cure! 

It takes the collective effort of nearly 500 volunteers to make our event successful each year.  Thanks to the dedication and commitment of volunteers, we are able to provide financial support for national research as well as funding for local programs that support education, screening and treatment right here in Western Washington.

Sunday, June 5th 2011 We are looking forward to welcoming you next year as part of Race for the Cure 2011 taking place on Sunday, June 5th.   It will be our 18th Race and will be bigger and better than ever thanks to the participation of our dedicated supporters, participants and yes, volunteers!

Please visit our website at www.komenpugetsound.org to learn more about the organizations who will benefit from the funds generated by the Race for the Cure as well as discover additional volunteer opportunities with Susan G. Komen for the cure – Puget Sound.

We believe this parable perfectly illustrates the power of your support of Komen Puget Sound as a collective group of volunteers working towards a common goal of creating a world without breast cancer:
 
One day an elephant saw a hummingbird lying on its back with its tiny feet up in the air. "What are you doing?" asked the elephant. The hummingbird replied, "I heard that the sky might fall today, and so I am ready to help hold it up, should it fall." The elephant laughed cruelly. "Do you really think", he said, "that those tiny feet could help hold up the sky?" The hummingbird kept his feet up in the air, intent on his purpose, as he replied,
"Not alone. But each must do what he can. And this is what I can do." 
--Chinese Parable
 
Together, we will create a world without breast cancer!

 
With sincere gratitude,
