About Susan G. Komen®
In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. That promise became the Susan G. Komen® organization, now the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer. To date, we’ve invested more than $3.3 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 60 countries. We work to support those who need help today, while tirelessly searching for tomorrow’s cures.
United by Hope, we can end breast cancer.
We know that it will take all of us, working together to save lives from breast cancer. It takes driving research forward to discover the next life-saving treatment, ensuring access to high quality and affordable care, creating a community of hope and compassion, and inspiring people willing to take action by raising funds and raising their voice to advocate for others.
