OUR PROMISE
Curing Breast Cancer – at Every Stage
At Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we know that ending breast cancer is about more than curing a medical condition – it’s about overcoming the cultural, social and financial conditions that prevent women from receiving life-saving breast health care and treatment.
At Komen for the Cure, our promise is our mission – ending breast cancer forever by . . .
· Empowering people to take charge of their health care through awareness and early detection and, if diagnosed, to survive.
· Ensuring quality of care for all, regardless of race, ethnic background, language, income or insurance status.
· Energizing science to find the causes and cures of breast cancer – and, ultimately, to prevent breast cancer in the first place. 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.
