Who we are

The story begins with one promise between two sisters - the promise to find a cure. And to seek the cure with passion and urgency and focus until the day when breast cancer is eliminated from the face of the earth.

What started with two, grew. This promise to find a cure has evolved as the people and resources behind it have grown. The fight against breast cancer continues twenty-four seven, with research, education, screening and treatment at its core. Because finding a cure is about finding the causes and the treatments and doing everything possible to help cure the pain and anxiety of every moment in between.

One story became the promise that millions made their own. Compounded by the passion and energy of many, this promise has become a race for millions.

We promise we will not rest until this race is won. We are united to find not just one cure but many cures for the many faces of this devastating disease.

We are Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
