Giving Back and Paying It Forward: The Impact of Supporting Susan G. Komen’s Breast Cancer Mission


Giving It Back & Paying It Forward

At the Forkas Home Team, we believe that the heart of real estate isn’t just about buying and selling homes, it’s about building stronger communities and making a meaningful impact beyond the closing table.


One cause that’s close to our hearts is the fight against breast cancer. That’s why we’re proud to support Susan G. Komen, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and ending breast cancer forever.


The Heart Behind Susan G. Komen’s Mission


The Susan G. Komen Foundation is a global leader in breast cancer research, advocacy, and patient support. Their mission is to end breast cancer through groundbreaking research, community health outreach, and direct support for patients and families. Over the years, Komen has invested more than $2.9 billion into breast cancer research and programs, making a significant impact worldwide.


Why We Support Susan G. Komen


Breast cancer touches so many lives including those of our clients, friends, and family members. Susan G. Komen’s tireless work in funding groundbreaking research, providing crucial support services, and advocating for patients aligns deeply with our mission of giving back and paying it forward.


At the Forkas Home Team, we recognize that health and home go hand in hand. A strong community is built on compassion, and giving back is at the heart of everything we do. Supporting the fight against breast cancer means standing by our neighbors, friends, and loved ones, ensuring they have access to the care and resources they deserve.



YOUR REFERRALS REALLY DO HELP THE COMMUNITY!


Giving back to our community is our goal whenever we buy and sell real estate.


Every year we donate a portion of our income from real estate transactions to worthy cause organizations we support just like

Loretta’s Story

Trust Yourself, Know Your Body

Survivor


After losing her mother to breast cancer, Loretta became vigilant about her health. A routine screening in 2014 led to a stage 0 diagnosis and preventive surgeries—but a decade later, a lump near her implant reminded her that the journey wasn’t over. Despite years of clear checkups, she was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. That’s when she learned she'd never received necessary hormone therapy. This time, she pushed harder—through chemo, radiation, and choosing to go flat. Loretta’s story is a powerful reminder: when something feels off, trust yourself and speak up.


More Than Homes—It’s About Hope


Whether we’re helping first-time buyers find their dream home or guiding families through life’s next chapter, we never lose sight of our responsibility to uplift the people and neighborhoods we serve.


Supporting Susan G. Komen is just one way we extend our mission beyond real estate. For every home we sell, we’re committed to giving back—to charities that matter and to causes that change lives.


How You Can Join Us


Want to make a difference with us? Here’s how you can help:


  • Donate directly to Susan G. Komen at komen.org

  • Join a local Race for the Cure or fundraising event in our area

  • Share your story—if breast cancer has impacted your life or someone you love, we’d be honored to hear it

Together, we can build more than homes—we can build hope.

Why Michael is

Paying It Forward

Eighteen years ago, life presented an unexpected challenge to Michael and his wife, Brook, in the form of a breast cancer diagnosis. Witnessing Brook's resilience and enduring spirit as she continues to thrive after nearly two decades serves as a poignant testament to the importance of research, awareness, and community support. Driven by this deeply personal connection, Michael has become an ardent supporter of the Susan G. Komen organization. Their mission resonates with him profoundly, reminding him of the battles countless individuals face daily and the hope that organizations like Susan G. Komen bring to them. Every effort Michael dedicates to this cause is a tribute to Brook's journey and a beacon of hope for countless others touched by breast cancer.
