Our Story
Born in a promise between two sisters -- Nancy Brinker to her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36 - our vow to end breast cancer forever has become the promise of millions.

Since launching the breast cancer movement 25 years ago, we've transformed the culture - how the world talks about and treats this devastating disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors.

Today, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists - the only grassroots organization fighting to cure breast cancer at every stage, from the causes to the cures and the pain and anxiety of every moment in between.

 

Our Promise
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure® promise: to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. We hope you'll embrace our new image and our continued commitment to providing the 95 Kansas counties of our service area help, funds and education about breast health and breast cancer.
