The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is marking its 25th anniversary with a renewed and impassioned mission that incorporates a new name and logo, a $1 billion commitment and a host of initiatives designed to support its promise to end breast cancer forever. The organization's new name is Susan G. Komen for the Cure and will be represented by a new logo featuring a customized version of the ubiquitous pink ribbon.
In the 25 years since its inception, Komen for the Cure has successfully brought breast cancer out of the closet, changing how the world talks about and treats the disease. It has grown to become the world's largest grassroots network of survivors and activists, investing nearly $1 billion in the cause and turning breast cancer into a priority health issue for women, researchers, health professionals and politicians.
Visit the 25th Anniversary Microsite to view videos representing our network of activists, purchase Promise Rings and create your own Promise Circle - a motivating online network of family and friends who have joined in Komen's breast cancer movement.
