Susan G. Komen is the largest breast cancer foundation in the United States and the first dedicated to breast cancer awareness. Since then there have many organizations that have emerged to help the same cause. Of the many organizations that pertain to this cause, Susan G. Komen is the only organization that approaches many different sectors involving breast cancer; such as community health, research, and global outreach.
Susan G. Komen has many branch foundations among the States and each fundraise in similar ways. The breast cancer centered foundation does an absolutely astounding job at receiving donations and promoting ways for people to donate to their cause. One of their main and most donative ways to have donors partake with the foundation is the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It has standard race formats featuring 5k runs, a 1 mile run/walk, and other variations of these races. They also have the “Susan G. Komen 3-Day” which is a three day event to raise money for the organization. Participants walk in total approximately 60 miles this event. Participants form teams and raise money together. They are also asked to raise $2,300 per individual. One participant and dual team captain, the winner of the 2014 Seattle walk, Tina McDonough has raised in total over $1.8 million dollars since 2007 with the help of her teams.
Susan G. Komen has found a successful way to fundraise for its organization. From the Google hangouts, Gloria Huang of FEMA and Sarah Milston of The Spark Mill provided fundraising practices evident in Susan G. Komen’s fundraising strategy. Sarah Milston said that fundraising should be thought about in broader terms. Susan G. Komen may focus a lot on money, but its cause for this focus is to focus on their cause. In this case they think about fundraising in more than just money. They also build relationships with their members and this is why so many women repeatedly sign up for annual events.
