First American Title Sponsors 2015 Susan G. Komen Orange County Race For The Cure®


September 10, 2015, Santa Ana, Calif.,

First American Title Insurance Company, a leading provider of title insurance and settlement services and the largest subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), today announced its support of Susan G. Komen® Orange County as a Platinum Sponsor for the Komen Orange County Race for the Cure®, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2015.

The Race for the Cure is the premier 5K fundraising event that celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. As a sponsor, First American Title will work with the Komen Orange County Affiliate and play a key role in funding the event, which is expected to raise more than $2 million this year.

Women's advocacy is one of three core areas where First American focuses its corporate philanthropic efforts under its company-wide Caring for Our Community initiative. As part of the emphasis on women's advocacy across the country, First American is also sponsoring three other Komen Race for the Cure® events in 2015: San Francisco (Sept. 27), Phoenix (Oct. 11) and Dallas (Oct. 17), as well as supporting more than 10 other fundraising walks benefitting breast cancer awareness and research.

"The reason women's advocacy is important to First American is simple, approximately 70 percent of our employees are women. So, there's a natural passion among our employees for women's health, family and welfare issues, said Mark Rutherford, senior vice president of corporate human resources, First American Title. "The strong reputation and tremendous impact of the Komen Race for the Cure events make them an ideal and engaging way for First American and our employees to support a critical women's health issue."

The Orange County Race for the Cure, which takes place Sunday, Sept. 27 at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, Calif., features a morning of two co-ed 5K runs, with a new timing chip option for the 7:15 a.m. Race, a Kids One-Mile Fun Run & Family Walk presented by Knott's Berry Farm, large expo, and a breast cancer survivor tribute.

"As a trusted member of the greater Orange County business and real estate community for more than 125 years, our team is excited to be involved and looking forward to doing our part to make this a great event," said Don Kennedy, vice president of First American Title's Orange County office.

"We thank First American for joining us and are delighted that they will be sponsoring this year's Race," said Lisa Wolter, executive director of the Komen Orange County Affiliate. "This important Komen fundraising event would not be possible without their support, as sponsors play an essential role in making the Race a success. We are looking forward to working together with First American to help end breast cancer forever."

First American joins this year's local Presenting Sponsors The Allergan Foundation, Chevron, Knott's Berry Farm, The Orange County Register, Ralphs and Food 4 Less, and fellow Platinum Sponsors ABC7, Fashion Island and Pacific Life insurance Company.

According to Komen Race for the Cure, corporate sponsors contribute 20% of total funds raised by the event, and 75 percent of all the money raised stays in the community to fund local breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects. The remaining 25 percent supports the Susan G. Komen Research and Grant Training Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research.
