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.
History: Susan G. Komen for the Cure began in 1982 as a promise between Nancy G. Brinker and her sister Susan G. Komen who died of breast cancer at the age of 36. Komen has invested nearly $1 billion in breast cancer research and community outreach programs, becoming one of the world's largest sources of funds fighting breast cancer.
Founded in 1997, the Komen San Antonio Affiliate has contributed $7 million. Seventy-five percent has funded local breast cancer programs that provide vital services to the medically under-served of our community. The remaining twenty-five percent supports international breast cancer research through the Komen Award and Research Grant Program which supports groundbreaking breast cancer research and scientific poprgrams around the world.
Komen San Antonio serves as a resource for those seeking opportunities for screening and treatment, and we endeavor to raise awareness and educate the community about the benefits of early detection in the fight to end breast cancer.
