San Diego 3-Day Local Community Participation Opportunities

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day^® is coming to your community on Friday, November 15, through Sunday, November 17! Hundreds of people will walk 60 miles in a courageous display of commitment in the fight to end breast cancer. Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day help support research, scientific programs and community-based breast health and education programs for women and men facing breast cancer. Walkers in the 3-Day^® have trained for months and raised millions of dollars and now they need your support.

You can help by cheering on the 3-Day walkers and showing your support. What that looks like depends on whether we will be walking directly by your business.

Will We Be Walking By Your Business?

How You Can Support the 3-Day Walkers
If you’re on the 3-Day route:

• Display a sign or decorations. Think pink! Use pink ribbon, pink balloons, or any other type of pink flair!
• Help our walkers cool down with sprinklers or mist them with a hose or spray bottle.
• Get creative! The walkers will love it.
• Hang banners or signs of support to encourage the walkers to keep going. Click here to print a 3-Day Supporter Poster.
• Hand out pink “goodies” to walkers along the route as they pass by. If handing out food or drinks, please make sure all items are individually wrapped. To eliminate any issues with litter, please provide a place for walkers to dispose of their trash.
• Share photos of your 3-Day experience and interactions to social media with the hashtag #The3Day. Tag @The3Day on Twitter, @Komen3Day on Instagram, or post in our San Diego 3-Day Facebook group.
• Please contact us to let us know your plans, so we can reach out in case there are any last-minute route changes.

If your business is not on the 3-Day route:

• Come to a public cheering station. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and spread the love—anything to make our walkers smile, stay energized and keep walking. Cheering station times and locations are posted here.
• Form your own cheering station. Click here for more info.
• Share messages of encouragement and support to social media with the hashtag #The3Day.
• Contact us to find out about other opportunities.
