October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1982 on a promise made between two sisters – Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker.
More than 20 years later, the Komen Foundation is a global leader in the fight against breast cancer through its support of innovative research and community-based outreach programs. Working through a network of U.S. and international Affiliates and events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, the Komen Foundation is fighting to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by funding research grants and supporting education, screening and treatment projects in communities around the world.
Today, we celebrate the power of a promise and how a single person’s vision can make a difference in the lives of millions.
