Giving It Back & Paying It Forward

The Mission of Susan G. Komen

Susan G. Komen is a name synonymous with hope, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of a cure for breast cancer. Since its founding in 1982, the organization has invested nearly $3.6 billion in groundbreaking research, community health initiatives, and advocacy efforts to support those impacted by breast cancer. Their work has led to advancements in treatment, early detection, and improved patient care, giving countless individuals the hope and resources they need to navigate their journeys.

Beyond research, Susan G. Komen provides critical support services, including financial assistance programs for patients struggling with the cost of treatment, helplines staffed with trained professionals, and community outreach programs aimed at spreading awareness about breast health.

Why This Cause Matters
