The Power of a Promise
Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded on a promise between two sisters. 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 for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. Our Passion Because 10 million women around the world could die from breast cancer in the next 25 years without the cure, Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ is fighting every minute of every day to save every life. Our People The more than 100,000 survivors and activists of Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ are the face and voice of the global breast cancer movement - local activists and global citizens who mobilize millions through events like the Komen Race for the Cure Series, the world's largest and most successful education and fundraising event for breast cancer. Our Work With nearly $1 billion invested to date, Susan G. Komen for the CureŽ is the world's largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to curing breast cancer at every state - from the causes, to the cures, to the pain and anxiety of every moment in between. Our Success Susan G.
