Volunteer at the North Jersey Race for the Cure!

Volunteer Today! 

More than twenty five years ago, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything possible to put an end to breast cancer.  Today, thanks to more than 100,000 survivors and volunteers/activists, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest most progressive organization fighting breast cancer.

Volunteers play a vital role in the Susan G. Komen North Jersey Race for the Cure®.  Their passion and commitment is what makes our Race successful.  This disease has touched so many people, either through their own personal experience or that of a loved one.  Will you join in our passionate fight by volunteering on Race day?

Last year, individuals from all walks of life volunteered their time and talents before, during and after the Race to ensure its success.  We need leaders, thinkers, movers and shakers, educators, and communicators…all types of talented people.  We look forward to having you join in the Race experience with us.

The Komen North Jersey Race for the Cure® is the largest 5 k event in Northern New Jersey.  We depend on the generous support, dedication, time and talents of our volunteers to ensure the success of the Race and our daily fight to eradicate breast cancer.
