Send a Letter

Getting mail on event can provide a big boost to a participant’s spirits. Take a few minutes to write a note which 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.

Susan G. Komen 3-Day Camp Mail
ATTN: [INSERT NAME OF PARTICIPANT HERE]

Mail must be received by November 11. Envelopes only, please. No boxes or large packages. Any mail that is not received by the 3-Day by November 11 or retrieved by the participant by December 1 will be destroyed. Please note: This address is not the actual location of camp, but a P.O.

Click here for more information and to order. Orders must be placed by October 11.

Volunteer

We need volunteers! There are many opportunities available, including helping out at the Finish Line Festival on Sunday and cheering along the route. It’s a meaningful and fun way to be involved in the 3-Day! Click here to sign up to volunteer.

Public Cheering Stations

Public cheering stations are a great way to show your support along the route. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and spread the love—anything to make walkers smile, stay energized and keep walking.

Times and locations of cheering stations will be posted here two weeks before the 3-Day.

Private Cheering Stations

You can organize a group (up to 20) to host your very own private cheering station. Follow this link for more information. Then, if you’re interested in hosting a private cheering station, contact sandiegocoaches@the3day.org with the subject line: “Private Cheering Station Inquiry” no later than November 1.

Mobile Cheering Squads

Mobile cheering squads are small groups (less than four people) who support the 3-Day walkers along the route. If you are interested in forming a cheering squad, contact sandiegocoaches@the3day.org with the subject line: “Mobile Cheering Squad Inquiry” no later than November 1.

On some portions of the route you may find areas that are deemed “quiet zones” which will be indicated by signage. Please respect our neighborhoods and communities during this time.

Cheering Station Alcohol Policy

As the 3-Day route is on public property, it is subject to local laws. Local jurisdictions will be enforcing open-liquor laws in neighborhoods along the route. While local officials understand and respect the cause for our celebration, we ask that you and your supporters help keep the 3-Day a family-friendly event and alcohol-free.
