Upcoming Events
There are a lots of events and activities promoting breast cancer awareness, research and patient support. Participating in these events is a great way to inspire the SurThrivor in you. Not everyone (like me) would want to walk 60 miles in three days, but there are many ways to get involved. This topic is dedicated to passing along information about various events.
Any events posted here provided as only information. No endorsement of any particular organization or activity is implied.

Komen 3-Day
What is the Komen 3-Day?
It’s a 3-Day, 60-mile event. Starting on Friday, you will walk approximately 20 miles each day until you reach the Closing Ceremony on Sunday afternoon. To learn more about training for the 3-Day, click here.
It’s a community.At the end of each day, you’ll be welcomed home to the 3-Day® camp, complete with a dining tent, hot showers, pink sleeping tents, evening entertainment and various other activities and helpful resources along camp’s “Main Street”! Those of you who are not comfortable camping out for two nights can elect to stay at a hotel at your own expense (our host hotels will have special room rates available for 3-Day participants).
It’s a fundraising event.Each participant is required to raise at least $2,300 to participate. That might feel like a big obstacle, but we are here to help you every step of the way with tips and tools. The money raised helps fund community education and outreach programs in your community.
It’s a celebration.While the reason we all get together might be serious, our walkers and crew like to have a lot of fun on the event as well. From bold, pink outfits to tent decorations and themed pit stops along the route, you’ll leave the event weekend feeling happy and celebrated.
It’s bold.No other breast cancer event in the country asks you to walk as far or raise as much money as the 3-Day. It is simply the boldest thing you can do in the fight to end breast cancer.
