About
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
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. For more information about Susan G. Komen
for the Cure, breast health or breast cancer, visit www.komen.org
