There
are many different ways to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We
offer a variety of events from bowling to cooking to golfing and
driving to raise money and awareness in our battle against breast
cancer.
Komen for the Cure is a grassroots network consisting of more than
75,000 volunteers worldwide. Affiliates in more than 100 cities
bolster awareness of the disease and raise funds to support a
variety of community-based outreach projects and a centralized
research initiative.
Through
programs like the Komen Race for the Cure® Series and other
fundraising and awareness events, Komen for the Cure Affiliates raise tens
of millions of dollars each year to help fight breast cancer.

Up
to 75 percent of an Affiliate’s net income remains in the
local community to fund educational outreach and screening and
treatment programs for underserved women and those without access
to these services. Remaining net income (a minimum of 25 percent)
supports Komen for the Cure National Award and Research Grant Program,
which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious
awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.
