Row for the Cure® for 2012!

A Community Service Opportunity for ALL Teams!

Every team attending the Hooch is encouraged to hold a Row for the Cure® fundraiser prior to the Hooch. Each team can raise money for the Komen for the Cure affiliate serving their local community in the fight against breast cancer. Visit www.komen.org to learn more about Komen for the Cure.

An online donation system is available for all teams raising money for Row for the Cure®.

The status of fundraising achievement vs. goal is presented for participants and teams, and email tools are provided to assist with soliciting donations.


Get Involved in 2012!

How can my team get started?

The first step is to identify an individual to champion Row for the Cure® within your organization. The Hooch provides tools and incentives, and we're here to help organizers from each team.

The second step is to determine how you would like to raise money. Examples of Row for the Cure events are: row-a-thon, erg-a-thon, silent auction, or you simply can use the online donations system to solicit Row for the Cure donations.

Each team must submit a team setup form (download form) to take advantage of the online donation system offered at no charge to your team. Please complete this form and email to rowforthecure@headofthehooch.org. Once your team is setup, individual team members and volunteers can register and begin fundraising.
