The Detroit Tigers partnered with Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to go to bat against breast cancer. The Race for the Cure is an annual 5K run/walk and 1 mile walk to raise funds for research to end breast cancer forever and to raise awareness of breast health. In appreciation, a group of Tigers Wives and front office staff formed a team to participate. The Tiger Wives also presented the "Tigers Wives Rookie of the Year" award to recognize the largest new team for this year.
Over 30,000 people participated in the Race for the Cure at Comerica Park, and raised more than $2 million dollars. Seventy five percent of the net income from each Race stays in the community to fund local breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects.
On May 17, the Tigers and Major League Baseball donated 1,000 tickets to breast cancer survivors and their families to attend the game and also hosted a pregame ceremony in honor of breast cancer survivors who participated in the Race for the Cure at Comerica Park. As part of the ceremony, Shani Inge and Jessi Miner, two Tiger Wives who have personal ties to breast cancer, hosted the winner of the MLB on-line Honorary Bat Girl contest. Stacy Goss, the contest winner, threw the ceremonial first pitch and watched the game from the personal luxury suite of Shani Inge.
