Recognizing Outstanding Fundraising The program opened with the premier of a video created at this year's Race by EmmyAward Winners Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from Under the Radar, one of the media partners for this year's Komen Detroit Race. For under $1, the public can download the song and proceeds will support the Komen Detroit Race for the Cure.
The Sept. 18 celebration was also an opportunity to recognize outstanding fundraising efforts through the Friends for the Cure program. This program acknowledges captains of Race teams of 40 or more members, or teams that raise more than $5,000; and individuals who raise more than $1,000.
Michael Meldrum, volunteer chair of Friends for the Cure said, "Since this program started 17 years ago, Friends has raised $10.1 million dollars and now accounts for nearly half of total Komen Detroit Race revenue. Although we are grateful for everyone's contributions, these outstanding fundraisers are the backbone of the Komen Detroit Race."
Seventy Platinum Club members raised $2,500 or more. Nineteen Promise Club members raised $5,000 or more. Of the top ten individual fundraisers, the latter seven of this impressive group together raised $60,628.

1st place winner, for the fifth consecutive year, is Dorene Williams of West Bloomfield, who raised $18,800 this year. In the past five years, Dorene's total fundraising has reached $117,300.
2nd place winner is Stephanie Bourdon of Livonia, who raised $13,840 this year, making her fouryear cumulative fundraising total more than $39,000.
Five Race teams were recognized with the New Balance Highest Percentage Awards teams with the highest percentage of team members raising $100 or more each.
Five more teams were recognized with the New Balance Team Award for the Most Dollars Raised. Ford Motor Company not only raised $80,110 this year but they also had the largest team at 1,679 members. In the past 22 years of the Komen Detroit Race, Ford has brought thousands together to raise more than $550,000 locally for Komen Detroit. As a national partner, the Ford Warriors in Pink Program has dedicated more than $115 million to the breast cancer cause.
