Tutus for Tatas is a team of women & men who
participate in the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. Taking place in 15 cities nationwide, the Breast Cancer 3 Day is
a 3 Day, 60 mile walk that provides an opportunity to educate thousands of people about breast cancer, including the importance
of early detection.
The Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk is a 20-mile
a day walk throughout the streets of its host city. We live in a 3-Day Camp! We sleep in tents, shower in tractor-trailer
trucks and we have all perfected the "porta-pot squat"! We leave our families, our HAIRDRYERS & makeup behind
and concentrate on the issues of Breast Cancer! It's a celebration of life! Of Survival! In 2008 we soared to over $750,000 in total funds raised!
In 2009 we hope to be the first team to surpass the ONE MILLION DOLLAR mark! We need your help in order to do that! We have
LOTS of fun events that you can attend! All those events are covered on our events pages. Please browse around our site and
watch for updates.
Here is a little Tutu history...Organized
in 2005 with just 28 women, Team Tutus raised over $90,000 and became friends for life! Promising to continue their friendships
and to continue walking, the 2009 Tutu Nation consists of 50 Atlanta members to date and growing. We even
have 2 members that are walking in ALL 15 Cities! To date, the total monies raised by team Tutus to fight Breast Cancer is
over $750,000.00!!!!!
The 2006 Tutus consisted of 75 women & men and raised over $230,000 making us the #2 Team in the entire Nation! We range
in age from 16 to 75 and come from all walks of life! We have a single unifying thread and that is to Find A Cure!
Growing even
larger in 2007, Team Tutus was 125 strong! Our 3 year cumulative total grew to well over ONE HALF MILLION DOLLARS
with our goal now being to reach ONE MILLION!
