Founded in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker in honor of her sister, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is one of the nation's largest organizations dedicated to fighting breast cancer. The nonprofit’s main fund-raiser, the 5K Race for the Cure, which first took place 25 years ago in Dallas with 800 participants, today boasts more than 120 offshoots and 1.5 million participants around the world.

The foundation's largest and most prominent event of the year is Washington's three-hour race this Saturday, which begins at 7 a.m. on the Mall in front of the National Museum of Natural History with a 45-minute presentation from Brinker and celebrities like Cynthia Nixon and Gabrielle Union. With some 50,000 participants and 1,000 volunteers, the race is part of a week of events promoting breast cancer awareness around Washington, including tomorrow night's all-pink Eve of the Race party at the Newseum, which 500 guests are slated to attend.

Susan G. Komen managing director of marketing communications Emily Callahan, who produces the race with TBA Global, spoke to us yesterday about spreading the Komen message, working with corporate sponsors, and giving back to the D.C. community.

How long have you been preparing for the National Race for the Cure?


Since this time last year. The race is really a year-round effort for us. We actually were just talking about working to get our site permit and set our date for next year. MORE >>
