The 'Pair' Tree Foundation

In August 2009 The ‘Pair’ Tree was born. The Doro family, of Arlington Heights, IL created The ‘Pair’ Tree as a way to support the Chicagoland Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walkers. The response from our community and the walkers was overwhelming positive. We subsequently formed The 'Pair' Tree Foundation.

With the help of friends and family we create 'pairs' and ask businesses and individuals to sponsor them.  A 'Pair' Tree is then created and displayed at a Susan G. Komen event. The money rasied is donated to Susan G. Komen for a Cure by sponsoring  participants of the Susan G. Komen events. 

To date The 'Pair' Tree has assisted Susan G. Komen participants reach their fundraising goals in Chicago, IL, Phoenix, AZ, San Diego, CA, Portland, OR and Atlanta, GA
