Susan G. Komen is fighting every day to finish what we started and achieve our vision of a world without breast cancer.


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, Susan G. Komen is the boldest community fueling the best science and making the biggest impact in the fight against breast cancer. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested almost $2 billion to fulfill our promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries. 

Mission

Our mission is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.

Needs

Komen’s number on need is funding. This funding is invested in three interrelated areas: Research, Direct Patient Support and Public Policy/Advocacy. All three are needed to 1) find the cures for the most aggressive and deadliest forms of the disease; and 2) ensure all people get access to the high-quality care they need. • Komen is the largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer research outside of the U.S government.

Equity Statement

To advance health equity in breast cancer care, Komen believes that everyone should have a just opportunity to be as healthy as possible despite their cultural or demographic background. That is why Komen is committed to eliminating barriers to care for individuals and communities experiencing breast health inequities now and in the future.
