About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was founded on the power of a promise made between two sisters - Susan "Suzy" G. Komen and Nancy Brinker.Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978, when little was known about the disease and it was rarely discussed in public. Before she died at the age of 36, after a three-year battle, Suzy asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to breast cancer. Nancy kept her promise by establishing the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in Suzy's memory in 1982. A new name and logo came in 2007 and is now boldly and simply: Susan G. Komen for the Cure!!

Since its inception in 1982, the National Foundation has awarded over 1,000 grants totaling more than $180 million for breast cancer research. Frequently, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the only source of funding for cutting-edge breast cancer research, some of which has led to landmark discoveries in the quest to find a cure for and eventually prevent breast cancer.While funding is offered at the national level for research grants, the Central Georgia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure supports a growing Community Grants program. Funding from the Community Grants Program is available to non-profit community agencies, educational organizations, and governmental agencies.The Central Georgia Affiliate is proud to have funded nearly $35,000 to the National Foundation for breast cancer research and $95,000 for local community outreach projects in 2006!!
