The Face and Voice of Breast Cancer

Led by more than 100,000 survivors and activists, Komen is the world’s largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting to end breast cancer forever.

As the face and voice of the global breast cancer movement:

  • We are local activists in 124 cities and communities, mobilizing more than one million friends and neighbors every year through events like the Komen Race for the Cure Series – the world’s largest and most successful awareness and fundraising event for breast cancer.
  • We are advocates at the local, state and federal level, fighting for the screening and treatment programs that save lives and the research that brings us closer to the cure.
  • We are global citizens working with local health groups around the world and through our web site, komen.org, to help millions of women in nearly 200 countries overcome the social, cultural and economic barriers to breast health and treatment.

We started the breast cancer movement.
We’ll finish it.
