| The stakes are enormous...
In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker watched helplessly as her sister, Susan G. Komen, died after a three-year battle with breast cancer. Before Susan died, Nancy made a promise that would change the world: to end breast cancer forever.
In 1982, that promise launched Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which in 26 years, has become the global leader of the breast cancer movement, creating the world's largest grassroots network of cancer survivors and activists, investing hundreds of millions of dollars each year for research, education, screening and treatment and encouraging governments everywhere to make cancer a top priority.
Our Vision: A world without breast cancer.
Our Promise: To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
