End Breast Cancer Forever.
In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became the Susan G. Komen® organization and the beginning of a global movement. To date, Komen has invested nearly $3.6 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 60 countries.
Participant fundraising for events like VIPink is the financial bedrock of Susan G. Komen, and we are the ONLY organization that addresses breast cancer on multiple fronts. The dollars we raise:
Unify us as a community to make the biggest impact against this disease.
Drive research that invests in science and technology that will provide the greatest benefit to patients.
Fuel global outreach and public policy initiatives that protect patients, prioritize research and create lasting systemic changes to improve outcomes for all.
Fund community health programs that provide evidence-based education, personalized support and connection to timely, high-quality care.
Unify us as a community to make the biggest impact against this disease.
You have the power to change lives. Join us.
Thanks to our fundraisers and supporters, no one has to face breast cancer alone.
