The candles are lit and the halls have been decked,
And the calendar boxes are nearly all checked.
Our sneakers are hung up; for now, snow boots reign.
(Except out in Cali, where flip-flops remain).
We look back on the year now with this little rhyme,
And the world that we changed, three days at a time.
Through seven incredible, scenic locations,
One foot, then the other, we made our migration.
A Michigan opener, then Twin Cities and Philly,
Seattle and Atlanta (which were both rather hilly),
Dallas/Fort Worth, and to round out the tally,
It was back to the coast for a San Diego finale.
The miles that we trekked totaled 420,
(and on sore, blistered feet, that number was plenty!).
Our 3-Day community—each remarkable walker,
Hard-working crew member, supporter and stalker—
Stood tall and united, committed to answer
The call to a world that is free from breast cancer.
And although the days spent joined in person are few,
The family we’ve built remains strong through and through.
So from us at the 3-Day, whose lives you have touched,
We’ll see you next year, and we thank you so much!
Seven locations. 420 miles. More than 8,500 walkers, 2,000+ crew members, and countless lives touched. Let’s look at our 2014 Susan G. Komen 3-Day® Series, by the numbers.
Donations: $2.4 Million
Donations: $2.0 Million
Donations: $3.8 Million
Donations: $2.7 Million
Donations: $3.2 Million
Donations: $3.1 Million
Donations: $6.8 Million
The fundraising totals listed represent how much was raised by the time each event rolled around, and we’re thrilled that every single Komen 3-Day continued bringing in donation dollars even after the last walker left each Closing Ceremony. With those continued donations, matching gifts and series gifts, the 2014 3-Day® series is on target to exceed $25 million raised toward the fight to end breast cancer.
There’s not a number big enough to calculate our gratitude to you, our 3-Day family, for your part in the fight.
