To wrap up Day 1, our top fundraisers were recognized Friday evening at the Bank of America Celebration of Champions. This year, Bank of America has donated $33,000 to the top fundraisers to jump start their 2025 fundraising efforts. Join us in congratulating these teams and individuals for their incredible achievements and contributions!

Our Top Three Youth Corps Fundraisers demonstrated their commitment to spreading awareness and raising funds to end this disease once and for all. Talia and Leora Z. tied for first place raising over $1,500 each for their second event and will both receive a Komen 3-Day branded Hydro Flask as a token of our appreciation and to spread awareness wherever they bring it. First-timers Violet and Frankie D. were also recognized for raising over $1,400 and $1,300, respectively. We are constantly blown away by Youth Corps’ commitment to the breast cancer cause.
