Komen Atlanta Local Statement
Given the controversy surrounding the National Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization, we thought it was important to provide a local perspective. As an affiliated, but separate, corporate entity from the National organization, the Greater Atlanta Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure makes all of its funding decisions on the local level.
Komen Atlanta currently provides $2.2 million in funding to 22 Atlanta area breast cancer screening and support service programs. Last year alone, Komen Atlanta and our grantees were able to provide services to 151,759 people in our community.
The Atlanta area Planned Parenthood organization has never requested funding from Komen Atlanta so they have never received funds from our organization. Komen Atlanta remains committed to ensuring that all women, especially the underserved, in our community have access to lifesaving breast cancer screening and support services.
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and early detection and intervention is proven to save lives. Komen Atlanta will continue to work hard everyday to provide low cost and no cost screening services for the underserved in our community.
Our mission is to enable women to detect and survive breast cancer - that is what we do.
