Up to 75 percent of the net income from each domestic Affiliate Race stays in the local community to fund breast health education, breast cancer screening and treatment projects.

- Projects focusing on culturally appropriate support services for breast cancer survivors.
- Projects focusing on needs of breast cancer survivors that are not covered by medical insurance – lymphedema treatment, prostheses, cosmetic needs, etc.
- Projects focusing on supporting appropriate and effective palliative and/or hospice care for women with breast cancer once treatment is no longer warranted.
