Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen, which is now the world's largest breast cancer organization and the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer with more than $1.9 billion invested to date. For more information about Komen, breast health or breast cancer, visit komen.org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN.
In May, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® announced $4 million in new community grants to reach low-income, minority and uninsured women in the Washington, D.C. Metro area.
We celebrate our Komen Global Race for the Cure Survivors through their stirring and inspiring stories of hope, courage, and triumph over breast cancer.
Our mission is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
