Team Up for the Cure - Start Organizing Your Team Now!

Teams are the backbone of the Komen Southwest Michigan Race for the Cure®. Team captains have proven to be incredible leaders in helping us make the Race more successful every year and further our mission to end breast cancer forever! T.E.A.M. means “Together Everyone Achieves More” and leadership is essential to build a great team! You’ll need at least 5 people to form a team.
