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

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
