Our Promise

Susan G. Komen for the Cure^®

Born on a promise between two sisters – Nancy Brinker to her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36 – Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting to end breast cancer forever.

At Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we know that ending breast cancer is about more than curing a medical condition – it's about overcoming the cultural, social and financial conditions that prevent women from receiving life-saving breast health care and treatment.

At Komen for the Cure, our promise is our mission – ending breast cancer forever by...

• Empowering people to take charge of their health care through awareness and early detection and, if diagnosed, to survive.
• Ensuring quality of care for all, regardless of race, ethnic background, language, income or insurance status.
• Energizing science to find the causes and cures of breast cancer – and, ultimately, to prevent breast cancer in the first place.
