Nancy G.
Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G.
Komen, that 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.
