Do I need the verb 'to' in this sentence.

Our customers are helping Susan G. Komen for the Cure to save lives, ensure quality of care for all and energize science to find the cure. Learn more.

It seems to me that the progressive verb 'are helping' covers off the 'to'. Wouldn't it be ambiguous to add the 'to'? As in, in order to.. ?

Grateful for any help here.
