BMW – The Ultimate Drive®
The BMW Ultimate Drive is a grassroots program that gives community members the opportunity to get involved in the breast cancer movement. For every mile driven during the BMW Ultimate Drive event, $1.00 is donated to Komen, up to $1,000,000. Developed by BMW in partnership with Komen, a fleet of specially badged BMWs crisscross the country visiting participating BMW Retail Centers. The drive will start in February and continue through December 2008, inviting consumers to get behind the wheel and help contribute to the breast cancer movement.
Breast Cancer 3-Day®
The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk for women and men who want to make a personal difference in the fight against breast cancer. Participants walk 60 miles in three days and help raise millions of dollars for breast cancer research and patient support programs. Each night of the event, walkers experience an incredible mobile city that's more than just sleeping tents and warm showers, where they can eat, relax and renew their spirit with their fellow walkers.
The Breast Cancer 3-Day benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. For more information, visit www.the3day.org, or call 800-996-3DAY. The Arizona 3-Day will be held November 14-16, 2008. Take the first step and register today!
