DESCRIPTION: Energizer is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Energizer - and its unstoppable Energizer Bunny® - will inspire, motivate and encourage breast cancer survivors and supporters from the time they sign up to walk until the Closing Ceremony.

The never-quit spirit of the Energizer Bunny® will come alive through the determination and perseverance of the thousands who participate in the Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Energizer’s support will strive to not only help Susan G. Komen for the Cure achieve its mission of finding a cure for breast cancer but will also aim to encourage breast cancer survivors and their supporters to know they are not alone and they each possess the Power to Keep Going®.

Walkers cover 60 miles in 3 days and camp for 2 nights. At camp, Energizer will have a Tent offering walk participants a place to learn, laugh and relax. Energizer will offer massages as the relax component of their tent on Saturdays and has asked AMTA to be the official Massage Therapists!

THANK YOU: Each walk averages approximately 3,000 participants and crew members. Energizer thanks the AMTA Massage Therapists for participating in these events and sharing this experience with them. They know that walkers will appreciate a good massage!
