A force united by a promise to end breast cancer, funding groundbreaking research, community health & advocacy programs.
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.

We deeply value our 3-Day community and everything it represents—strength, support, and inclusiveness. It's been brought to our attention that the originally planned dates for the 2025 Denver 3-Day event fall the week of Yom Kippur, a sacred time for many within our community. As a community that prioritizes inclusiveness and responsiveness, we apologize for this oversight in our planning process and will be adjusting the event dates. We understand the importance of making the 3-Day experience accessible to everyone, and we’re committed to ensuring that no one is excluded from participating in this meaningful journey. Please stay tuned for the announcement of the new dates, and thank you for your understanding and continued dedication to our shared mission. Together, we can make a difference.

We are sad to learn that actress Danielle Fishel has been diagnosed with breast cancer. “They found it so, so, so early that I’m going to be fine. So, I want to share this because I hope that it will encourage anyone to get in there. If it’s time for your appointment, if you’ve never had an appointment before, get in there,” said Fishel, in the latest episode of her podcast, "Pod Meets World." She said her breast cancer was found during her annual mammogram. We are wishing Danielle a smooth recovery and grateful she is sharing the importance of screening and early detection. https://bit.ly/4fTmgGU
