Pledge Program
Make your miles count on Race Day by raising pledges for the Komen Madison Race for the Cure®. Getting started is easy, all you need to do is set a fundraising goal and then ask your family, friends and co-workers to help you reach your goal. Tax deductible pledges are a great way to make a difference, and we have prizes to reward your fundraising efforts.
This year there are three ways to collect pledges:
- Bring your completed Pledge Form and checks to Race Day. There will be collection stations at Registration and Information.
- Mail your completed Pledge Form and checks to Komen Madison Race for the Cure.
- Set up your own Pledge Page on our registration website: Click here. Friends and Family can pledge via credit card in your name.
This year we are offering 4 pledge levels, each with their own unique Race Gift.
Race Level - Collect $100 in pledges and help us "Race" closer to a cure for Breast Cancer.
Promise Level - Earn $250 in pledges and envision the "Promise" that we're dedicated and committed to finding a cure.
Hope Level - Collect $500 in pledges and keep the "Hope" for a cure alive.

- Pledge form(s) must be accompanied by check for any cash donations and all checks payable to the Komen Madison Race for the Cure to qualify for prizes. Do not mail cash. Whenever possible, please mark "PLEDGE" on the check's note section.
