No. Fundraising is not required to participate in the DONNA 5K at TPC Sawgrass.

However, fundraising is encouraged because it helps The DONNA Foundation provide hope, support, and financial relief to individuals and families living with breast cancer.

To make fundraising easier, every participant receives a personal fundraising page during registration. While fundraising is optional, many participants choose to use their page to share their story, honor a loved one, celebrate survivorship, or support families living with breast cancer.

Participants can access their fundraising page through their RunSignUp profile. From there, you can personalize your message, upload photos, set a fundraising goal, and share your page with friends and family.

Donations made to The DONNA Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donors will receive a donation receipt for their records.

The DONNA Foundation provides hope, support, and financial relief to individuals and families living with breast cancer. Founded in 2003 by breast cancer survivor Donna Deegan, the Foundation works to remove barriers to successful treatment and survivorship.

Through personalized support, navigation services, financial assistance, and community resources, The DONNA Foundation helps individuals and families focus on treatment and recovery rather than financial hardship. As the financial and emotional challenges associated with breast cancer continue to grow, support from participants, donors, and fundraisers helps ensure more families receive the assistance they need.

Funds raised through the DONNA 5K at TPC Sawgrass support The DONNA Foundation's mission of serving individuals and families living with breast cancer. Donations help provide support services, financial assistance, and programs that improve quality of life throughout the breast cancer journey. As demand for these services continues to grow, every dollar helps extend support to more families in need.

Every registration and donation helps extend the impact of The DONNA Foundation beyond race day. Fundraising allows participants to directly support families living with breast cancer while honoring loved ones, celebrating survivorship, and raising awareness.

There are many ways to get involved, including making a donation, becoming a fundraiser, volunteering, joining a team, participating in future DONNA events, or becoming a monthly donor.
