Survivor Recognition Program
With its "RE/MAX Racing for Life®" slogan, RE/MAX International is proud to be a
co-sponsor of the National Series Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program at
Komen Race for the Cure events, the world's largest series of 5K runs and
fitness walks.
Komen's Survivor Recognition Program celebrates breast
cancer survivors and remembers those who have lost their battles with the
disease. RE/MAX shares sponsorship with Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity, a nonprofit
volunteer organization.
RE/MAX contributes pink survivor T-shirts and
caps, as well as "In celebration of" and "In memory of" back signs and program
banners for every race. RE/MAX Associates who are breast cancer survivors or who
otherwise have been affected by the disease are encouraged to solicit pledges
for their own participation. Corporate representatives host breast cancer
survivor recognition tents at the more than 100 events in the United States.
