Here in Los Angeles, 100 people are diagnosed with breast cancer EVERY WEEK.

• Race for the Cure is a 5k fundraising race/walk for the whole family, the proceeds of which support breast cancer services for women in need throughout the Los Angeles community.
• Race for the Cure® is the Komen Los Angeles County affiliate's largest source of income and has raised nearly $9 million to date for breast cancer education and awareness, breast screening and diagnostic services for under and uninsured women through its community partners and hospitals.
• 75% of race funds raised stay in Los Angeles County and the remaining 25 percent of funding goes to cutting-edge breast cancer research in LA County and around the world.

This year's race will take place on Saturday, March 24 at Dodger Stadium. Registration starts at 6:30 a.m. The event runs until noon.
