You don’t have to be a grown-up to participate in the Race or to raise money to end breast cancer. Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure® has added a new participation event this year, Kids for the Cure®.
Kids aged 12 and under are encouraged to register. Children who register as Kids for the Cure® will have their very own youth sized t-shirts. However, only 3000 shirts will be ordered, so kids need to register early.
The winning design of a recent art contest will be the artwork for the 2009 Kids for the Cure® Race shirt! Channel 7 will announce the winner of this contest on Good Morning Arkansas on Friday, July 17, at 9:00 a.m.
In order to receive one of the T-shirts, children MUST be registered in the Kids for the Cure® program.
Funds from the Race for the Cure® are used to help eliminate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease and are used for education, screening, treatment and research programs.
OK, I can’t emphasize enough that you need to get your team to register ONLINE and register early once registration opens. If kids sign up for this using the offline forms, it’s a pretty good bet that they will miss out on this. There will ONLY be 3000 shirts ordered and there will NOT be another order and there are no shirt substitutions. It will also be hard to exchange sizes – you can’t until race space opens and then only if they are available. Sizes will be issued as requested while that size lasts. Once a size is gone, we will go to the next size. Let me say again, when all 3000 Kids for the Cure® shirts are gone, they are gone; there is no reorder or substitution.
I have a feeling that questions are going to come up regarding children 5 and under (who normally do not pay). Children 5 and under still do not have to pay, BUT they do NOT receive a t-shirt. If you want a Kids for the Cure® shirt for a child 5 or under, they must be registered for Kids for the Cure® and pay the entry fee.
Please remember that these shirts are Youth sizes Small, Medium and Large.
Thanks,
Jill
