Our work does not begin or end with our Annual Cross-Country Breast Cancer
Motorcycle Run.
Our mission is focused on promoting breast cancer awareness and raising
funds for breast cancer research throughout the year!
Breast Cancer Awareness is vitally important every month. Not just in
the month of October, which is nationally recognized as Breast Cancer
Awareness Month.
Divas For A Cure "DFAC" is not a motorcycle
club. DFAC is a non-profit public benefit corporation. We participate
in various local and national awareness programs throughout the year.
Distributing breast cancer awareness brochures and networking with other
cancer survivors and community based organizations.
So, How Can You Help?
Everyone (individuals, groups, motorcycle clubs, corporations, and corporate
sponsors) are encourage to fundraise.
Here is how you can get started. Join us by launching a Fundraising Pledge

Where and how are the funds distributed?
There are no paid salaries. We are all volunteers therefore; $ .90 cents
of every dollar we raise is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness and Breast
Cancer Research. Each year we dedicate the funds raised through online
donations, merchandise sales and corporate sponsorship direct to Breast
Cancer Research.

"It's not the Motorcycle -
It's all about the Mission"
This Summer 2007, Divas For A Cure will once again take to the road,
traveling across country, promoting early detection, breast cancer awareness
and raising funds to aid in the fight to find a cure for Breast Cancer.
This year we will depart from Southern California and travel across country
to the East Coast and back with one of our featured stops in Kansas City,
Missouri and then back to California.
We are committed to the cause until there is a cure! We hope that you
will consider joining us along the route. We will be rolling through a
city near you. So, remember to check back frequently for more information
on the most recent updates to the 2007 Ride
