Show your spirit

When the Susan G. Komen 3-Day® comes to town, the whole community rallies! Cheering stations and squads of all sizes energize and inspire the walkers and spread 3-Day® spirit.

Preparing for and participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day® is a big job. Ask any walker or crew member and they’ll tell you they could never accomplish this amazing feat without the help of others. Want to get your local business involved? We welcome businesses and community groups to join in and make a difference!

Here are some ways to support 3-Day participants

Getting mail at the 3-Day can provide a big boost to a participant’s spirits after a long day of walking. Take a few minutes to write a note that will brighten their Komen 3-Day experience! Send your letters to our P.O. Box and we’ll deliver them to camp for participants to pick up.

Stay tuned for 2026 information!

For a $15 donation*, we will put together your personal message with a custom packaged 3-Day? cookie.*

For a $15 donation, we will put your message (limit 150 characters) up on our Video Wall at camp for everyone to see. This message will be displayed several times throughout the weekend for your 3-Day participant to see your support. Or for $25, you can send both a sweet treat and a slide show shout out.

Sweet Treats and Slide Show Shout Outs are closed for the 2025 season.

* Cookie is available for pick up on event only and will not be distributed via mail post event.

We need YOU to help support The 3-Day! There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, from volunteering at the Finish Line Festival on Sunday to cheering on walkers along the route. It’s an incredibly meaningful and fun way to be part of the 3-Day experience! Read more details here.

Rally your crew and organize a private cheering station to give our walkers the extra boost they need! Gather a group of up to 20 people to create your own celebration along the route—cheer them on, lift their spirits, and help them push through to the finish line. If you're ready to inspire our walkers in a big way, reach out to coaches@the3day.org with the subject line: "Private Cheering Station Inquiry." Together, we can make every step count!

Mobile Cheering Squads

Help rev up excitement for our walkers with a Mobile Cheering Squad! These small, spirited teams (fewer than four people) are the heartbeat of our 3-Day community support. Ready to join the fun and inspire our walkers along the way? Rally your squad and email us at coaches@the3day.org with the subject line: “Mobile Cheering Squad Inquiry” to get started!

Please note, some sections of the route are designated “quiet zones,” marked by signage. Please respect our neighborhoods and communities during this part of the route.

Subscribe to the 3-Day blog. We post lots of stories and photos before, during and after the 3-Day event.

How You Can Support the 3-Day Walkers

If you’re on the 3-Day route:

  • Display a sign or decorations. Think pink! Use pink ribbon, pink balloons or any other type of pink flair!
  • Help our walkers cool down with sprinklers or mist them with a hose or spray bottle, if they ask.
  • Hand out pink “goodies” to walkers along the route as they pass by. If handing out food or drinks, please make sure all items are individually wrapped. To eliminate any issues with litter, please provide a place for walkers to dispose of their trash.
  • Get creative! The walkers will love it.
  • Share photos of your 3-Day experience and interactions to social media with the hashtag #The3Day. Tag @Komen3Day on Instagram or post in our Facebook Groups.
  • Please stay in touch with us, so we can reach out in case there are any last-minute route changes.
If your business or community is not on the 3-Day route:
  • Come to a public cheering station or form your own! Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and spread the love — anything to make our walkers smile, stay energized and keep walking. Find out when the public cheering stations will be open on the route by contacting coaches@the3day.org.
