Mush For a Cure – March 12-13, 2010

It is the mission of Mush For a Cure to raise awareness of breast cancer and raise funds for breast cancer research through annual pledge/tribute runs by dog team.  Although Mush for a Cure pledge/tribute runs are not limited to women, it is our goal to highlight the women in the sport of dog mushing.

October 31, 2009: In honor of October being National Breast Cancer Awareness month, registration is opening for the 2010 Mush For a Cure!!!

We have been receiving inquiries for the 2010 event already so we the organizers felt it was time to open registration! Please visit the “Rules” page for the rules, entry form and pledge form. (New for 2010, entry fee is required at registration).

MUSH FOR A CURE 2010 WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MARCH 12TH AND 13TH

What is the Mush For a Cure? Mush For a Cure is a non-competitive sled dog FUNdraiser with proceeds donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Mush For a Cure is not a race, it is a fun event to celebrate the sport of dog mushing and to cap off a winter of hard work, training and racing while raising funds to find a cure for breast cancer. The minimal entry fee to participate is to cover the costs of insurance, trail permitting, etc.  Teams can do this in the form of a personal check, raised in pledges or both. However, participants can choose to get pledges above and beyond the entry fee. Pledge forms are available upon request or by scrolling down to the link at the bottom of this page.

If you would like to donate, send a check made out to “Mush For a Cure” and mail to:

(If you would like to make a pledge for one of the participants, please contact him/her directly)
