A special message to all our Pink Tie volunteers:
Thank you so much for your past support of the Pink Tie Ball. In light of our commitment to the Race as the primary fundraising event for the North Jersey Affiliate for 2010, we have made a decision to not hold the Pink Tie Ball this year.  We hope you would like to volunteer for another activity or event.  We would be very interested in and grateful for your participation.  To sign up for a Komen North Jersey volunteer event, please contact Colleen Miller, Volunteer Development Manager, at 908-277-2904, extension 31 or e-mail her at cmiller@komennorthjersey.org. 

 » New! «  INVEST YOUR CHANGE™ - Year-Round Initiative

Komen North Jersey is introducing a brand new fundraising initiative called Invest Your Change™ , which gives new meaning to the expression "every penny counts." We are seeking volunteers to join our Invest Your Change™ Leadership Committee, and would like to have representation from each county in our service area (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren).  We also need Captains who are willing to take on the responsibility of placing canisters to collect loose change (with permission, of course!) in local diners, delis or other favorite stores -- and to retrieve and replace the canisters when they are filled.  This new year-round fundraiser reminds people in the community about our mission of finding a cure for breast cancer -- and gives them an easy way to contribute. more info

 Passionately Pink -  Year-Round

It's simple.  Just wear pink, host a fun event, and raise money to end breast cancer.  Choose how you want to “Go Pink” -- decide what day, week or month you want to get started, create your team, set a fundraising goal and have fun raising money to win the fight against breast cancer. more info
