Linda's Komen Fundraiser

About Komen

Forty-two years ago, a sisterly promise ignited a spark that would fuel a global crusade against breast cancer. Today that promise continues to prevail as the driving force behind Susan G. Komen’s unwavering quest for a future free from the grip of this deadly disease.  In the pursuit of our goals, we’ve helped fuel research, unlocking the biology of breast cancer and discovering insights that propel us toward more effective risk reduction strategies, earlier detection methods and innovative treatments. This helped reduce breast cancer mortality by more than 42%.  To date, we’ve invested nearly $3.6 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 60 countries. Due to investments in research, 19 new drugs for breast cancer were approved in the past decade, and Komen is proud to have been a catalyst for these discoveries. We stand firm in our promise to never give up on our vision of creating a world without breast cancer.

ONE Mission. The Susan G. Komen Difference.

We’re committed to finding the cures. Imagine the impact we can make towards ending breast cancer when we come together as ONE to fund research, increase access to care, support our community, and commit to action. Together, ONE more action by each of us can support Komen’s comprehensive 360-degree approach to fighting this disease across all fronts and supporting millions of people in the U.S. and in countries worldwide. Advocating for patients, driving research breakthroughs, improving access to high-quality care, offering direct patient support and empowering people with trustworthy information. That’s the power of ONE

ONE person can make a difference

ONE in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Surprisingly, last Fall, I became one of those women.  Fortunately, it was caught early and was taken care of quickly. Most women are not as fortunate as I was.  When you donate, you’re joining ONE community, united and committed to ending breast cancer forever. Discover the nationwide impact of this community, and witness the difference we can make together when we raise ONE more dollar, take ONE more step, and share ONE more story.  Every 12 minutes in the U.S., breast cancer takes a life. So ONE more donation really matters.

Thank you.
