Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

Since its inception in 1982, the Susan. G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has made great strides in the fight against breast cancer.  Through its research program, the foundation has been a pioneer in funding groundbreaking breast cancer research, much of which has led to landmark discoveries in the quest to find a cure for and eventually prevent breast cancer. In addition to funding research, the foundation works to increase breast cancer awareness and promote early detection through special events like the Komen Race for the Cure ® series. Proceeds from such events help fund community- based, breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved.
