About us
In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. Two years later, that promise became the Susan G. Komen® organization and the beginning of a global movement. For over 40 years, we've led the way funding groundbreaking research, community health initiatives and advocacy programs in local communities across the U.S. and in more than 30 countries. And with your help, we’ll continue pushing for progress to end breast cancer every day, until it’s a thing of the past.

Those living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) face many challenges, including keeping loved ones informed about treatment and health status. "The feedback that I’ve gotten from folks is...they understand that no news is good news, but they want to know how things are progressing," said Cyndi, a Komen MBC Steering Committee member. Cyndi uses CaringBridge to provide meaningful updates and receive supportive messages in return. It's also a way to to seek help for transportation, meals or other daily living tasks.

In early 2023, Nancy felt pain in her breast. An active amateur athlete who rides horses, she assumed it was horse related. "It felt like a bruise," she said. Tests later revealed she had stage 2B breast cancer. Your gift today, which will be doubled by our partners at Avis Budget Group, will help breast cancer patients get access to the resources they need. Because ending breast cancer needs all of us. https://bit.ly/4cmROTo #AvisBudgetGroup #DrivenToDoGood #PlanOnUs #WeKnowTheRoad
