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.

Recent actions by Congress have cut vital #BreastCancer research and left other services vulnerable. These cuts come at too high a cost.

Breast cancer risk looks different for everyone. Our guests on this episode of Komen's Real Pink podcast have an inherited genetic mutation that increased their risk of breast cancer. Without knowing it, they may have passed this gene onto their children. Natalie Gutierrez and Shanise Pearce discuss the steps they’ve taken or will take to inform their family members about a possible increased cancer risk.
