COMMIT TO CREW OR VOLUNTEER
There are two ways to help on the Susan G. Komen 3-Day®. The major difference is how much time you have to commit.
Crew
You should register as a crew member if you can dedicate yourself to three full days, plus attending a crew team meeting on the Thursday afternoon before the event. Crew members (except medical crew members) must raise at least $100 in order to participate. Click here for information about crew.
Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities are generally a commitment of a few hours during a single day. On-event volunteer opportunities will be posted approximately 2 months prior to the event. Because of the incredible volunteer support we enjoy, many of our volunteer positions fill up within one week after being announced in the Volunteer Bulletin.
