With a goal to raise $1 million for breast cancer research, On Deck for

the Cure is modeled after a similar program launched last year by Holland

America and encompasses fundraisers on dozens of the brands' ships, with

guests making a donation benefiting Komen for the Cure and participating in

five-kilometer walks and other activities on the vessels' open decks

 

Aboard the "Fun Ships," guests are encouraged

to make a minimum $10 donation and partake in a five-kilometer walk around

the ships' jogging track. The fundraisers, held initially on the

Miami-based Carnival Valor and Fascination, are promoted within the

Carnival Capers daily shipboard newsletter.
