The contribution each and every one of us makes is tremendously important. But together, those individual efforts add up to the power to find a cure. So, at Yoplait®, we're proud to join forces with other programs and organizations. We hope our combined efforts will get us to our goal: a world without breast cancer.
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
For more than 20 years, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has been a global leader in the fight against breast cancer. Through its network of U.S. and international Affiliates, the Komen Foundation has raised more than $750 million in its fight to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. The Foundation's efforts fund innovative research and support community-based outreach programs in education, breast cancer screening and treatment projects all over the world.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®
Since 2001, Yoplait has been the National Series Presenting Sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. As the largest 5K run and fitness walk in the world, the Race raises both funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer.
The Komen Race for the Cure Series began in 1983 as a local Dallas, Texas race with some 800 participants. Today, more than 100 races nationwide make up the Series, with over 1 million people participating.
Up to 75% of the net income from each Race stays in its local community, funding breast health education efforts, breast cancer screenings and treatment projects. A minimum of 25% of the net income supports the Komen Foundation Award and Research Grant Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational scientific programs around the world.
Of course the money the Series raises is vital to our fight for a cure. But just as important is its effort to raise awareness and enthusiasm for that fight. At every race, you'll see women in pink caps and tee shirts, identifying them as breast cancer survivors. Their very presence reminds us why we're fighting so hard and that we're going to win.
Zeta Tau Alpha
Yoplait is proud to partner with Zeta Tau Alpha, the national fraternity, in our efforts to raise money and awareness for breast cancer and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Zeta chapters across the country have collected pink lids and spread the word about breast cancer detection and awareness. Thanks to ZTA for their incredible enthusiasm for the cause and the Save Lids to Save Lives program.
