Every time a Boeing Co. employee crosses the finish line at this weekend’s Race for the Cure, the aerospace company will donate $100 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Last year, 1,300 Boeing employees participated, raising $130,000 to find a cure for breast cancer.
If you’ve ever raised funds for an event like this, you know that fundraising can be almost as time-consuming as training. King 5 has this story on a local Boeing family who will lace up their walking shoes for the event.
Sunday’s event in Seattle features a 5k run and a 5k walk. For more info on the event, visit the Puget Sound Race for the Cure Web site. The Foundation set a goal of raising $2 million through this Sunday’s event. At noon, it had raised $1,343,147.
Boeing employees need to check in at the company’s tent at the race.
