FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Third Annual
Bras for the Cause Walk
May 10, 2008
What does the finisher's t-shirt look like?
Do I have to wear a bra?
Well, it wouldn't be a "bra walk" without one, would it? Please feel free to wear your bra over your t-shirt or camisole or tank top, if you are more comfortable that way.
And, gentlemen, as we are an equal opportunity event, you get to share in the spririt of the walk by wearing one, too.
What if it rains?
If it rains, we'll stay indoors and have a huge party. For safety reasons, we don't want you outdoors in the rain walking in the dark.
What if I get tired and can't finish?
Most people can walk for a few hours at a time. If you find that you can't finish, for any reason, we have sweep vans that will pick you up and take you back to the finish of the walk.
Can I get a refund on my registration if I can't attend the walk?
Sorry, since this is a charity event, we can't refund your registration.
Who can attend the walk?
Women and men aged 18 or over. Sorry, no strollers, dogs, or children. We want everyone to be safe!
Do I need to train?
We always encourage folks to be fit and prepared. Look at training as an opportunity to get some fresh air and do something great for your body!

Where does the money go?
All proceeds from the walk go to the San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Your registration fee will cover your t-shirt, event insurance, port-potties, facility rental, and printing costs. After we've paid for expenses, all registration money goes to the cause.
100% of your pledges will go to Komen. So you can tell your sponsors that they are choosing a very efficient way of donating. Since Tri-Valley SOCKs has no paid staff and very few expenses, your money goes straight to the cause. We will post an accounting of our expenses on this website after the walk, if you'd like to check.
Who do donors make the checks out to?
Checks should be made out to Tri-Valley SOCKs.
Who do I mail the donations to?
Tri-Valley SOCKS
P.O. Box 1196
Livermore, CA 94551
What is the the Tri-Valley SOCKs Tax ID?
Tax ID 20-2395367
How much do I need to raise?
We ask that each walker bring in at least $200 in pledges. Please see our fundraising tips and online pledge page instructions for helpful ideas on reaching that goal and surpassing it!
